Coinciding with the nightly screening of the music video Someone’s Daughter on the external projector throughout March, join us for a special screening of the full length feature documentary Journey Beyond Fear.

Filmed over seven years, Journey Beyond Fear is an emotional rollercoaster taking us from despair to joy through hope, humour and love. A character driven film, featuring three magnetic daughters, it focuses on the experience of those who join the queue to resettle in Australia, making it clear that this is no easy option. It shatters prevailing stereotypes and highlights that becoming part of Australian society without losing one’s cultural identity is achievable. Further to this, Journey Beyond Fear draws attention to the fact that only 1% of refugees registered with the UN are ever resettled. The film has been made with deep passion and commitment to the subject matter, the narrative is lyrical and the visuals are strong, speaking volumes about the family’s situation.

The screening of the film will be immediately followed by a Q&A with members of the creative team behind the film, including Robyn Hughan and Steve Warne.

‘Journey Beyond Fear is an excellent documentary and a genuinely moving experience. This is a journey well worth taking – 4/5 Stars’ – David Stratton, The Australian

The film screening event for Journey Beyond Fear is presented to coincide with Harmony Week.
