We're excited to announce our first collaboration with Miya Miya Film Club for World Refugee Day. Join us for an evening of film, delicious food, a hearty discussion and all-around good vibes.⁠

⁠The Staging Post is a documentary by Jolyon Hoff and it follows two Afghan Hazara refugees, Muzafar and Khadim. Stuck in Indonesia after Australia 'stopped the boats' and facing many years in limbo, they built a community and started the school which inspired a refugee education revolution. A real-life, real-time, multi-platform documentary. The Staging Post is about friendship, connection and the power of community.⁠

$25 covers your film ticket, it also includes a $5 donation to the Refugee Advice Casework Service, they provide free legal advice to people seeking asylum based in Sydney. ⁠You can also buy a delicious Afghan meal before the documentary starts, courtesy of Afghan Royal Restaurant, from 6:30pm-7:15pm.

Following the screening will be a 20-minute panel featuring Afghan human rights advocates such as Shabnam Safa from Australian Hazara Advocacy Network and Anjilla Seddeqi, former lawyer, fashion designer and advocate.

⁠Our event partners, Miya Miya Film Club, aims to showcase and provide a platform to tell SWANA (Southwest Asian and North African) stories on unceded Gadigal and Wangal land (Sydney). Miya Miya translates in Arabic to the 100 emoji, perfect, fantastic, 100/100. ⁠

⁠Big thanks to Navitas Skilled Futures for co-sponsoring this event too.⁠
