The Brotherhood of St Laurence presents War Child – a boy soldier's story ...
Please join us at the screening of this powerful film that tells the story of Emmanuel Jal, a child of war in Sudan, a boy soldier, a survivor, a refugee. Follow his extraordinary journey as he finds the courage to overcome adversity and rises to become an international musical artist.
This Emmy nominated, feature-length documentary intersperses original interviews, live concerts and rare footage of Jal as a seven year-old boy. War Child will make you cry, laugh, dance and celebrate the power of hope.
See why audiences from New York, Berlin and London rave about this award winning film.
Tickets: $30 per person (includes live music, finger food from a world of diverse cultures, beer & wine)
All proceeds go towards Brotherhood programs that help refugees settle in Australia and rebuild their lives.
Please note that persons under the age of 15 years may only be admitted to the screening in the company of a parent or adult guardian.
