STAGING POST
THE STAGING POST is a documentary which follows Muzafar and Khadim, two Afghan Hazara refugees who were stuck in Indonesia after Australia 'stopped the boats'. Facing many years in limbo, they built a community, started a school, changed UN refugee policy and inspired a refugee education.
Director Jolyon Hoff and star of the film Muzafar Ali will host a QandA after the screening.
It will screened on July 2 at 4pm The Royal Exchange.
