Event Duration: 120 minutes

Arts in Action in partnership with Carpets For Communities is very proud to host a special fundraiser film screening of Spinning Dreams Cambodia (2011), which captures the spirit of adventure and humanity in an inspiring and moving documentary of a 400km journey across Indo-China undertaken by 9 young cyclists to raise awareness for sustainable livelihoods and development. During their journey, they meet up with the Australian not-for-profit social enterprise Carpets for Communities and learn how education and encouraging entrepreneurship is key to breaking the cycle of poverty in Cambodia.

The film has already been showcased in Singapore, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Phnom Penh, Launceston, Brisbane and Siem Reap.

Funds raised through the screening of Spinning Dreams Cambodia will go to Carpets for Communities.

So come along for an evening of inspiration, energy and excitement and at the same time help support the tremendous work of Carpets for Communities. A range of their beautiful hand crafted carpets made by women in Cambodia will be on display and available for sale on the night.

GUEST SPEAKER: David Bacon – Founding Director of Carpets for Communities will be along to talk about the work of CfC and ways that people can get involved.
