For my Friends in Detention

Resistance: Young Socialist Alliance member Zebedee Parkes short documentary film For my Friends in Detention has been selected for showing at film festivals around the world.

The film explores the impact refugee activism in Australia has on people on both sides of the fence. It draws upon several years of observational footage, including activist Sarah’s first experience of a detection centre and her relationship with Cali, a Tamil refugee.

Parkes spoke to We are Moving Stories about the film.
