Family Reunion Circle (115) who assist asylum seekers and refugees with either protection visas or family reunion are holding a film fundraising evening.

The film is Flee, an animated documentary, directed by Jonas Poher Rasmussen with three Oscar award nominations, based on the real-life story of an Afghan man fleeing to Europe for his life.

Flee tells the story of Amin Nawabi as he grapples with a painful secret he has kept hidden for 20 years, one that threatens to derail the life he has built for himself and his soon-to-be husband. Recounted mostly through animation to the director, he tells for the first time the story of his extraordinary journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan.

When: Fri 16 June 2023, 6pm for 6.30pm start

Where: The Regal Theatre, Kensington Rd, Kensington Park
Tickets: Purchase tickets via TryBooking or pay cash on the night.

There will be finger food and wine for $5 a glass.

Evening includes a chance to:

• Learn how we support refugees
• Hear Phil Barron speak about ‘Borders, what borders!?  What can we learn from globe-trotting birds?’. Phil a twitcher (with longstanding research on the ecological restoration and bird-life on Kaurna and Peramangk land) will use birdsong and photographs to appreciate and help us get to know our feathery friends!
• Take part in a Lucky Dip!  Bring a small wrapped gift to go into the draw and…. for a small sum of $5 the luck of the draw may celebrate you as the person who received the most unusual gift!  Bring some cash for a few games:)

There will also be a chance to share a laugh with Interplay and enjoy afternoon tea delights including an Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony, Iranian Cakes and Savouries from the Kaurna home-soil!

When Australia stopped the boats, three Afghan refugees stuck in Indonesia started a school that inspired an education revolution. This film tells their story, and our event will support their school.

After the film, Muzafar Ali and Jolyon Hoff will lead a discussion.

Funds raised will help support the Cisarua School in Indonesia.
