MFO AND LITTLE DRUM PICTURES
A celebration of the rich tapestry of diversity that exists within our collective, Zawadi chronicles three local migrant women and their unique story. A cinematic project between Multicultural Families Organisation (MFO), Little Drum Pictures and Experience Gold Coast, this poetic ode to the kaleidoscope of human experience explores the rhythms and rituals that make each person complete.
We would like to thank the Queensland Government for funding this project through the Investing In Queensland Women Grants Program.
MFO is a not-for-profit organisation that has been supporting the Gold Coast Multicultural community since 1996 by providing various programs including settlement services, employment and training, youth programs, disability support, women's programs, events and festivals and community development.
