FOOD JOURNEYS ON FILM WITH NIGE

A cinematic collaboration between Free to Feed and filmmaker Tim Melville exploring three Free to Feed participants, their journeys and what it means for them to connect with others through food. Over the next few weeks we will be sharing more films and recipes from this collaboration.

MEET NIGE

Nige has been in Australia for ten years, although six of those were spent in detention on Christmas Island, at Villawood and in Melbourne Immigration Transit Accommodation. With no option but to leave behind his wife and young son, Nige escaped civil war via Malaysia and Indonesia, on more than one treacherous boat journey that had no guarantees of arrival.
