West End Uniting Church & Being Reel Film proudly present..

The SCATTERED PEOPLE film is an inspiring and thought-provoking documentary about our music and our humanity which paint a picture of life as a musician seeking asylum in an unwelcoming country.

It is a story of restitution and hope, of shared humanity and the role music can play in forging bonds of friendship and respect and giving voice to otherwise unsung heroes. It features interviews with music icons including Missy Higgins, John Butler, Archie Roach, Michael Franti, Katie Noonan, Dan Sultan, Baker Boy, Harry James Angus and more.

The Scattered People are a band of kindred spirit musicians in Brisbane, Australia who play, write and record the music and stories of asylum seekers they encounter in detention and community centres, producing high quality albums. We follow their relationships, rehearsals and public performances and hear their heartfelt stories of courage and character as they create Sugarmill Road, their last album.

All proceeds will go towards supporting recently released refugee friends in Brisbane https://chuffed.org/project/support-for-the-kp120
