The film presents the challenges and hopes of the boys and sheds light on the real experiences of refugees affected by the civil war in Sudan.

Light refreshments will be served from 6:30 pm.

Film screening at 7 pm following a welcome by Mayor Georgina Oxley.

About Refugee Week

Refugee Week is Australia’s peak annual activity to promote greater awareness of refugees, the issues they face, and the contributions refugees make to the Australian community. In 2026, Refugee Week will be held from 14 June to 20 June. A Million Stories is this year’s theme, marking the milestone of Australia granting one million permanent humanitarian visas since the program began in 1947, in the aftermath of World War II. Refugee Week 2026 is a moment to reflect on that milestone and to celebrate the million stories behind it.

Presented by City of Kingston.
