The Refugee Rights Action Network will be holding a movie fundraiser on 22 July with Creation at Cinema Paradiso in the lead up to our compassion caravan to Leonora.  If you want to help us get there this is a great way to do it, see what promises to be a great film and have an enjoyable night out.

Here's a short blurb on Creation to get you interested:

"Paul Bettany (A Beautiful Mind) stars as Charles Darwin, a man torn between his faith and scientific studies. Nearing completion of what is to become one of the most important books of all time: "On the Origin of Species" (containing the foundation for evolutionary biology). Darwin struggles to come to terms with the death of his young daughter while also earning the scorn of his religiously devout wife (Jennifer Connelly)."

Cinema Paradiso is fully licensed, there is a bar in the foyer and drinks are permitted in the theatre (not BYO), if people would like to get there early for some after work drinks we'd love to see you there for a chat, or stick around after the film.

Tickets are $18 waged and $15 unwaged,  if you buy from RRAN prior to the night or at the RRAN stall on the night.  You can buy tickets through our PayPal account (or an extra 0.50c per ticket to cover online costs +$2.00 to have the ticket posted or you can give Kimba a call on 0403 912 160 to make other arrangements.

Cinema Paradiso is at 164 James Street, Northbridge View Map

and the film starts at 7:00 pm. Hope you can make it!!

"In the past 60 years, Australia has offered permanent residency to around 700,000 refugees. At least 7% of Australians have been through the experience of being a refugee or have a parent or grandparent who has. Many former refugees are prominent in Australian business, government, education, the arts, sport and community life. Offering a new start for people in peril has proven to be an important nation building exercise for Australia." - Refugee Council Of Australia
