Australian Refugee Film Festival
KOMAS FreedomFilmFest is proud to announce that the winning film of FreedomFilmFest2006 ‘The Invisible Children‘ by Hariati Azizan, has been invited to enter the Australian Refugee Film Festival. The Australian Refugee Film Festival is held in Sydney, Australia and coincides with Refugee Week, June 20th to June 26th.
Synopsis: In Malaysia, there are about 9,000 refugee children living in the fringes of our society, leading a marginalized existence. These children are denied access to adequate education, which is imposing a poor prospect for their future. Even if they are receiving some schooling, they are usually relegated to substandard educational facilities, poorer quality of instruction and fewer teaching materials, let alone getting any opportunities for higher education.
