'Freedom Stories’ shorts

Saturday, August 19, 2017 - 19:00

WINTER FILM SERIES: This regular series of peace-related documentaries returns to Armagh after a successful trial as a Next Step Experiment last year. Details below. Contact Delia Paul, delia.paul@iofc.org  for details of the Melbourne screenings, and if you are able to help with set-up or front-of-house management on any of the screening nights.

Saturday 19 August: ‘Freedom Stories’ shorts. This series of short films explores the achievements and stories of former ‘boat people’ who arrived seeking asylum from the Middle East around 2001. Some of you would have come to the ‘Freedom Stories’ screening last year and heard from director Steve Thomas. These now are six new stories about other asylum seekers who have built new lives in Australia.

All Melbourne screenings are at 7 pm. Pizza will be on offer from 6.30 pm. We ask for $10/head to cover costs. If you are able to donate more than $10, this will help raise funds for the Sustainable Impact Mentoring, Creators of Peace, and Life Matters.
