Why
Some stories stay with us long after the credits roll.
Join us for a screening of Until the Sky Falls Quiet, followed by a panel discussion featuring doctors who will reflect on the film's themes through the lens of their experiences in medicine and volunteering overseas. As we come together for an evening of learning, reflection and solidarity, enjoy speciality coffee from Rakwa Cart and authentic Palestinian food, and stay for the conversations that emerge when a story continues beyond the screen.
Filmed in real time, Until the Sky Falls Quiet documents the medical mission of two doctors from Western Sydney in Gaza. It is a rare and personal record of loss, resilience, and the human cost of carrying home what you’ve witnessed inside the world’s largest open-air prison.
Tickets available from Salaamtix.
