Films for Palestine

You are warmly invited to a Palestinian film screening and fundraiser. Our hopes for this night are to come together in solidarity for Palestine, add to our understanding of the Palestinian struggle for freedom, and to gain confidence in talking about the unfolding catastrophe within our communities.

This will be taking place on the lands of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples whose strength and resistance to colonisation has always been and continues today.
