Farmer Wants a Life
“Farmer Wants a Life”, while a fictional composite of Australia’s many successful refugee stories portrayed by actors, tells the story of Ali and his wife. Ali, a farmer in his home country, but now a settled refugee, works on a farm in Australia after feeling civil war. Ali’s wife is a local doctor in the town near where they live and both are working to save to buy a farm of their own. The story shows how experiences from overseas have enriched Australia’s communities as refugees settle in towns throughout the country, bringing skills, culture and a commitment to starting a new life. Refugees actively contribute to Australian communities and the Australian way of life. Celebrate Refugee Week by sharing this story with your friends and family.
