Tuesday 28th August 6.30pm Melbourne Wine Room Cafe 125 Fitzroy Street, St Kilda
Robin de Crespigny is a Sydney film-maker, producer, director, writer and a former Directing Lecturer at the Australian Film, Television & Radio School.
Her book ‘The People Smuggler’ was recently published by Penguin and has attracted a lot of attention because of the topicality of the subject matter. The book tells the true story of an Iraqi refugee, Ali Al Jenabi, who became a people smuggler to save his family and ultimately came to be seen, not as a heinous criminal the government had hoped, but as the ‘Oskar Schindler of Asia.’
Robin will speak about how, when, why she came to this project, her writing process, and how she worked with Ali all intercepted with readings of a few amusing or engaging sections, then Robin will open up the floow for a Q&A type discussion which is always vigorous. http://stkildarotary.org.au/events/club-meeting-mwr-2-2012-08-28/

Saturday 13th August, 2011
Moonee Valley Racecourse
$65 per person, (includes 3 course meal - drinks at Bar Prices
Australian Rotary Health is Australia's largest non-government funding body for mental illness research. We also fund research in other health related areas.
The genesis of Australian Rotary Health in 1981 was the mystery of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The late Ian Scott, from the Rotary Club of Mornington, established
Australian Rotary Health to support research into SIDS. As Australian Rotary Health grew so did the vision of medical research possibilities. Supported by Rotarians Australia wide,
Australian Rotary Health was soon in a position to sponsor health research in areas that did not readily attract funding.
Australian Rotary Health has a broad vision of health. We are a catalyst for projects that improve the quality of life for people who are least able to assist themselves.
