They’re the band you grew up with, whose songs are imprinted into the DNA of every music-lover who came of age in the 90’s and 00’s. A band of eternally-youthful fuzz-pop darlings who, however improbably, have continued to play together for 30 years and somehow have not only gotten better, but have become even more loved. A band that combines loud with beautiful, intense with joyous, chaotic with precise and pulls it all together in a way that very few acts ever manage.

WE ARE NOT POWERLESS Incl Q&A with director and star Muzafar Ali, and director Jolyon Hoff

Ten years ago Australia ‘stopped the boats’. At the same time a small group of refugees in Indonesia received a $200 donation and started a two-room school.

Husband and wife, Muzafar Ali and Nagina Zahra were co-founders of that first school before being resettled in Adelaide in 2015. Since then the schools in Indonesia have grown. There are now over 1300 refugee students and 130 refugee teachers.
