Angus McDonald is an award-winning artist and documentary filmmaker. He staged more than 30 solo exhibitions across Australia & internationally. In addition Angus is an ambassador for Human Rights Watch Australia and Asia. He received many awards for his wonderful arts and just recently was awarded with the People’s Choice Award for his portrait of writer and filmmaker Behrouz Boochani who is a Kurd from eastern Kurdistan which is occupied by Iran. Angus directed and produced the famous documentary film called ”MANUS” which also received international a lot of attention on the refugees who were locked for years under very brutal conditions where unfortunately also Behrouz Boochani was held in.

Angus tries to better the life of people by bringing to light the injustice which many many refugees are facing which also got him closer to the Kurdish cause. I personally think his work is very important for us Kurds because he is portraying and visualising the things we Kurds saw and know but always feel others around the world don’t.

Angus McDonald signed our Petition www.change.org/KurdPeople & we wanted to know more about how he developed more interest to the Kurdish cause which is sadly still widely ignored world wide.
