Event description

The ANU BIPOC Department is running a fundraiser movie night for the Turkey-Syria Earthquake Relief through DirectRelief. We will be screening 'The Swimmers', a movie documenting the real-life story of two Syrian sisters escaping their war-torn home in Damascus, swimming for two hours to reach Greece, and going on to swim in the Rio Olympics.

This event is open to all ANU students - please come by to support the earthquake relief and to watch a film documenting the inspiring lives of two Syrian refugees.

Tickets for good, not greed Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity

The BIPOC Department is an autonomous student-led group that provides a community of support and solidarity for all BIPOC students at the ANU. From publishing the annual Racism Report and campaigning for BIPOC wellbeing, we also organise social events like our weekly coffee catchups ‘Chai & Chats’ and our fortnightly discussion circles ‘BIPOC Talks’. Keep an eye on our socials for information about meetings and events!

BIPOC stands for Bla(c)k, Indigenous, People of Colour. This definition includes but is not strictly limited to mixed-race or bi-racial people and people who are white-passing or have a proximity to whiteness (i.e. are perceived to be white due to skin colour and other identifying features).

To contact the BIPOC Officer please email sa.bipoc@anu.edu.au.

**‘Autonomous’: if you see an event labeled as this, then it means it’s only open to those who identify as part of our collective.

**‘Non-autonomous’: some events will be open to all, regardless of whether you identify as BIPOC or not!
