It takes courage for human rights defenders like Hakeem al-Araibi to tell their story. But courage in speaking out is what defines their lives, shines a light on injustice and aids accountability and change. Australia, and over 30 million people worldwide, helped him when he needed it most. I’m pleased that his courage has been acknowledged by the Audience Award for Best Australian Documentary at the Sydney Film Festival. ‘The Defenders’ premieres this Friday, June 23 on Prime Video.
