| Description |
Fifteen-year-old Oliver Twist has one thing going on – bootlegging and selling music and videos. He is the internet of his local area in Malawi, selling his wares in the refugee camp where his family have settled after fleeing civil war in Rwanda. Arriving in Australia his resumé is less impressive, given everyone has the internet readily available. Griot is a vignette of the journey of day-to-day survival for Oliver. From Rwanda to Australia, this whip-smart, wise cracking stand up finds humour in everything. |
