The film closely follows the protagonists of the film in their legal practice throughout the refugee crises, sharing inspiring stories and footage as they and their clients react to and navigate increasingly hostile laws and policies. Please note, happy hour/brief networking will begin at 6pm, and the screening will begin around 7 pm. The film is approximately 1.5 hours.

When we ask, we aim low. We ask for what we think we can reasonably get because we’re afraid to risk demanding too much and end up with nothing at all. The result? We leave money and opportunity on the table. Combining 20 years of communications expertise and a passion for auctioneering—Dia Bondi’s Ask Like an Auctioneer is a bold and radical approach to helping you ask for more and get it.
