Video Promo: Tampa Refugees Doco To
Screen Later This Year
Pacific Solution:
From Afghanistan to Aotearoa is a documentary that
follows the plight of the Tampa refugees. The Tampa refugees
are 438 Afghanis who on the day the World Trade Center
crumbled were awash in a small boat off the coast of
Australia, fleeing the persecution of the Taleban regime.
Four years after their arrival in New Zealand, kiwis had the
opportunity to hear their incredible story at the world
premiere when the documentary featured at the DOCNZ
International Documentary Film Festival in Auckland in
September. Makers of the doco received funding from NZ on
Air and TVNZ. It screens on TVNZ later this year.
Scoop thanks Kylie Towgood of Outside the Square for assisting in making this doco-promo possible. Outside the Square is a Public Relations agency run by final year AUT Public Relations students that work in teams comprising of two-six members for non-profit clients.
