"Changing Lives": Young Iraqi women filmmakers tell their stories

Young Iraqi women living in Western Sydney have created digital stories
about their experiences: harrowing journeys by boat to Australia, their
time in detention,
stories of longing for family left behind, and dreams of future lives
in a new land.
Click here to view their short (2-minute) videos, recently highlighted as part of the 2008 Sydney Arab Film Festival.
More information about the project and the filmmakers is available here.
