Join us for a special one-night-only charity screening of "Dheepan," the 2015 Palme d'Or-winning masterpiece by Jacques Audiard.

This compelling drama follows a former Tamil Tiger soldier seeking refuge in France. As he poses as a family man, he faces the challenges of a new life, haunted by past traumas. This critically acclaimed international film explores the effects of war and the plight of refugees, offering a poignant exploration of resilience and hope. The screening highlights the real-world significance of refugee struggles and the ongoing global refugee crisis. 

All proceeds from this fundraiser support Bridging Lanka (https://bridginglanka.org/), an Australian charity dedicated to bridging ethnic, religious, and racial divides. The organisation provides aid, education, and infrastructure to the most vulnerable affected by the aftermath of war in Mannar, Northern Sri Lanka.

Enjoy an unforgettable cinematic experience while making a difference in the lives of those in need.
