Directors Muzafar Ali and Jolyon Hoff join us for a special Q&A Screening of their new film We Are Not Powerless, which follows a group of refugees in the shadow of Australia's notorious 'Stop The Boats' policy.
Ten years ago Muzafar Ali and his wife Nagina escaped the Taliban in Afghanistan and found themselves living in Indonesia as refugees when Australia ‘stopped the boats’. Determined to do something, they started a small two room school, which soon became the hub of a community, and the most successful refugee-led initiative in the world.
We Are Not Powerless tells the story of what can happen when a community refuses to give in and work together for hope, love, and education.
