Akoni

A homeless refugee (Kit Esuruoso) struggles to integrate into Australian society after escaping conflict in his homeland. While living on the streets and on the receiving end of racist taunts, a young woman (Genna Chanelle Hayes) comes to his aid. Struggling with her own feelings of grief and loneliness, she soon finds solace in her unlikely new companion as he opens her up to a world beyond modelling, parties and social media.
Written, produced and directed by Genna Chanelle Hayes, AKONI co-stars Mark Coles Smith (Last Cab To Darwin) and screens during Refugee Week (June 19-25).
