They cannot take the sky: stories from detention

Moreland City Libraries - Read More program

Event Date: 27 June 2018
Author / Presenters: John Gulzari and Michael Green

7.45 pm, Wednesday 27 June
Brunswick Library

For more than two decades, Australia has locked up people who arrive here fleeing persecution – sometimes briefly, sometimes for years. In 'They cannot take the sky', those people tell their stories in their own words.

John Gulzari will reflect on some of his experiences and, along with Michael Green, will discuss Behind the Wire’s project on immigration detention, which includes the book, an exhibition, and The Messenger podcast.
