About this event
Event Description: MINARI (2020)
A tender and sweeping story about what roots us, MINARI follows a Korean-American family that moves to a tiny Arkansas farm in search of their own American dream.
The family home changes completely with the arrival of their sly, foul-mouthed but incredibly loving grandmother. Amidst the instability and challenges of this new life in the rugged Ozarks, MINARI shows the undeniable resilience of family and what really makes a home.
MINARI is a semi-autobiographical take on writer and director Lee Issac Chung s upbringing. It had its world premiere in 2020, winning the US Dramatic Grand Jury prize as well as the US Dramatic Audience Award and has since received critical acclaim. With six nominations at the 93rd Academy Awards, many declare it to be one of the best films of 2020.

Full figures show sheer scope of Wide Bay HHS’s Covid response
The Wide Bay Hospital and Health Service has tested the equivalent of the population of Hervey Bay and quarantined an average of 38 people a week since the pandemic started.
Raw numbers reveal the scale of the Wide Bay HHS’s COVID-19 response.
Since the Australia’s first case was confirmed on 25 January 2020, Queensland has recorded 1,793 cases. Of these, 39 have been recorded in the Wide Bay region and all have since recovered.
“Around 80 per cent of Queensland’s cases have been acquired overseas, with a large portion detected in quarantine, and this is reflective in the Wide Bay HHS region,” Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said.
Following a century-long fight for recognition, the South Sea Islander community have had the abhorrent true origins of the Queensland workforce formally acknowledged.
On Friday, Bundaberg mayor Jack Dempsey said the practice of forcing indentured labour into Queensland cane fields was equivalent to slavery and abhorrent .
It marks the first formal apology by a government official to those who were taken from their Pacific Island homes and their descendants.
The practice known as Blackbirding saw an estimated 60,000 South Sea Islanders brought to Australia between 1863 and 1904 to work on sugarcane and cotton farms in Queensland and Northern NSW.
Chairwoman of the interim national body for Australian South Sea Islanders, Waskam (Emelda) Davis, said the apology was many years in the making.
An infected Sydney tradie who ignored border bans and travelled to Queensland where he triggered a major Covid scare has shown no remorse.
George Thompson, 26, was fined almost $10,000 for flouting lockdown laws and only escaped a criminal charge because police wanted to deal with it immediately .
He insists he had no clue he had Covid and when asked if he understood why people were angry he said that reaction was fair enough but he wasn t fazed by what others thought of him.
