Bonegilla - The Migrants' Journey

Join us in the beautiful surrounds of the historic Hawthorn Arts Centre for this powerful multimedia show and documentary by Simon Reich.

Bringing to light the untold stories of post-war European migrants through intimate interviews, archival photographs and live music, the production chronicles their journey to Australia's largest migrant reception centre, Bonegilla. It captures the full arc of the migrant experience: wartime displacement, life in the sparse conditions of the camp and the challenging journey toward integration into Australian society.
