Tonight in Warrawong!
Ian Gala-Twin Warrawong

On Wednesday 3rd June at 6.45pm-8.45pm Gala Twin Cinemas is hosting a screening of We Are Not Powerless!

Ten years ago Muzafar Ali and his wife Nagina escaped the Taliban in Afghanistan. They found themselves living in Indonesia as refugees when Australia ‘stopped the boats’. Determined to do something, they started a small two room school, which soon became the hub of a community and the most successful refugee-led initiative in the world.

We Are Not Powerless tells the story of what can happen when a community refuses to give in and work together for hope, love, and education.

Come along to see the uplifting independent documentary about the lived experience of refugees seeking safe life and access to education in Indonesia and Australia.

Includes a very special Q&A with directors Muzafar Ali & Jolyon Hoff

Australia's billionaires increased their wealth by almost $50,000 a minute.
