Rich Mix, 35-47 Bethnal Green Road, London E1 6LA

Will the legacy of the London Olympics be exploited garment workers and the marginalisation of local people? Are corporate sponsors wrapping themselves in the Olympic flag and reaping profits at the expense of communities around the world? Or have the Games brought benefits and resources to London with them? Can we still stop the Olympic dream becoming a nightmare?

Join 6 Billion Ways for an evening of short films, speakers,  campaigns and discussion (film and speaker details to follow shortly).
