Movie Talks @ Robertson Library: The Staging Post
Robertson Library, WUSC UPEI, and the Rotaract Club of UPEI invite you to attend a screening of the documentary The Staging Post.
The film follows Afghan Hazara refugees, Muzafar, Khadim and Tahira. Stranded in Indonesia after Australia 'stopped the boats' and facing many years in limbo, they build a community and start a school which inspires a refugee education revolution. (Kanopy, 2017)
The Staging Post was produced and directed by Australian documentary filmmaker Jolyon Hoff.
The purpose of the film will be to raise money for the Shine A Light Program, an initiative that provides women and girls within refugee camps the opportunity to better their education prospects.
Admission is free, but there will be donations accepted at the door. Any amount can make a difference in someone's life.
Wednesday, November 20th
Robertson Library, Room 312
Doors open at 5:30 pm
Show starts at 6:00 pm
