Journey Beyond Fear is an inspiring documentary told through the eyes of an Afghan teenage girl and her refugee family in pursuit of resettlement in Australia. Filmed over seven years, it features three magnetic daughters experiencing how even the system for seeking asylum the “right way” is incredibly challenging, but that those who make it are hugely thankful.
Following the screening, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A session with the filmmaker, Robyn Hughan, gaining deeper insights into the creative process and the impactful stories shared in the documentary.
Cultural Diversity Week runs from the 18-24 March 2024.
This year’s theme is “Our Shared Stories – Celebrating Together.” This theme encourages us to appreciate and celebrate the wonderful connections between different cultures in our state.
Similarly, Harmony Day is dedicated to celebrating Australia’s cultural diversity, and is timed to coincide with the United Nations’ International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on 21 March 2024.
