This film is incredible. A complex personal story, expertly told w/ rare footage. It barely mentions #Auspol yet still powerfully shows the consequences of Australia's #asylum & #refugee policy beyond Australia's shores. Don't miss @RACSaustralia screening this Monday.

"My mum and I haven’t stopped thinking and talking about the movie. Khaled's story was inspirational and heartbreaking at the same time." Another great comment from one of our audience members at our SANCTUARY @SydFilmFestival screening. 🙏 #SanctuaryDoc is coming soon!

[SanctuaryDocumentary @sanctuarydoco]

"If I look at Khaled, I see an extremely friendly young man, who is very approachable. He’s happy, despite what he has been through. It would not surprise me if he would’ve turned radical, after all his experiences. But he didn’t. He’s a great guy." Leon from #SanctuaryDoc

[SanctuaryDocumentary @sanctuarydoco]

"It is often very hard to explain the plight of people seeking asylum and humanise them. This documentary did an amazing job by allowing the person with lived experience to tell their story." More fantastic feedback from our @sydfilmfest screening. #SanctuaryDoc #WithRefugees

“For over 75 years, Australia provided really positive outcomes for refugees – for a long time we were a global leader in protection" @KaldorCentre's @profjmcadam talks to @amyremeikis @GuardianAus about getting Aus back on track #Asylum #WeCanDoBetter https://t.co/IzB5wnWpvH
