The Common reading Program will screen “The Staging Post” on Tuesday, October 22, at 4:30 p.m. in Heald G3.
This 2017 documentary follows two Afghan Hazara refugees, Muzafar and Khadim. Stuck in Indonesia after Australia “stopped the boats,” and facing many years in limbo, they become part of a movement among this refugee community to start a school which in turn inspired a refugee education revolution. The film highlights the impact of community despite displacement and marginalization. (Run time 62 minutes)
