FREEDOM STREET

The first Perth screening of Freedom Street, a documentary by Alfred Pek. 

Tickets include a delicious snack made by the FareGo team, the CARAD-run social enterprise serving up delicious cultural comfort food and empowering refugees and asylum seekers through employment. 

Freedom Street is the story of Joniad, Ashfaq and Azizah, three refugees stuck in Makassar, Indonesia for several years as a result of Australia’s border policy. Freedom Street presents the refugees’ stories while deconstructing Australian policy in a series of conversations with experts. The documentary highlights the cost of Australia’s undemocratic policies both on the refugees and the Australian taxpayer while urgently sounding the alarm for meaningful and humane solutions to an ever-worsening issue.
