The staging post

Running time: 62min

The Staging Post follows two Afghan Hazara refugees, Muzafar and Khadim. Stuck in Indonesia after Australia 'stopped the boats' and facing many years in limbo, they built a community and started the school which inspired a refugee education revolution.

A real-life, real-time, multi-platform documentary. The Staging Post is about friendship, connection and the power of community.

A truly moving piece of cinema. Nick Valentine

Uplifting and unforgettable. Philippa Byers

Full of wisdom and humour. Eileen O'Brien

A must see for every Australian. Kathy King

Touching the nerve of human experience. Marion Rose Le
