After fleeing their homeland, Australian refugee policies threaten
to tear this young couple apart. An unforgettable story of love,
hope and a quest for freedom. At seventeen, all Mojgan Shamsalipoor
wanted was to be safe from physical and sexual abuse, go to school,
and to eventually marry for love. In Iran, she was denied all of
this. Milad Jafari was a shy teenage boy who found his voice as a
musician. But the rap music he loved was illegal in his country.
All Milad's father, a key maker, builder and shopkeeper, wanted was
for his family to live free from the fear of arrest, imprisonment
or execution. To do that they all had to flee Iran. Mojgan and
Milad met in Australia. But in the months between their separate
sea voyages, the Australian government changed the way asylum
seekers were treated. Though Milad is recognised as a refugee and
will soon become a proud Australian citizen, Mojgan has been told
she cannot stay here even though the threat of imprisonment and
further abuse, or worse, means she can't return to Iran. UNDER THE
SAME SKY, is a powerful insight into the human face of asylum
seekers and the the way history has shaped the lives of these two
young people. It also shows the compassion alive in our suburbs.
For Mojgan and Milad, their love keeps their hopes alive.
