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.

A special Refugee Week screening with a Q&A to follow with Muzafar Ali and filmmaker Hamish Ludbrook.

Presented by Cisarua Learning and supported by Rural Australians for Refugees Southern Highlands.
