Acting
ALI AL JENABI, an asylum seeker from Iraq, fled his country over twenty years ago at the height of the Iraq war. His indomitable spirit, vitality and charisma contribute to a most extraordinary first screen performance. He was brought to the attention of the director at Sydney Writers Festival when he spoke at the book launch of a biography that tells his life story, THE PEOPLE SMUGGLER by Robyn de Crespigny, published by Penguin.
