Broken Boat (2020)
Overview
When Jina a Kurdish poet escapes her oppressive homeland in Western Iran, she takes her beloved’s birthday gift – “Girl with the Pearl Earring” translated into Farsi – with her on a journey to seek political asylum in Australia. Chancing upon a community library, the invitation to ‘take a book, leave a book’ forges a poignant connection between her new landscape and the home she has left behind.
