    About this audiobook

    Based on true events, two men, both desperate and looking for a better life.

    The Australian Citizenship Ceremony tells the story of Awsame (Awe-sa-me) and Barrisa (ba-ris-a) who escape their homelands in Africa and face the trials of hunger, people smuggling, exploitation and the politics of being a modern day refugee. The hardships they face forge the characters they become with hope, determination and humour their only munition as they tackle the challenges of integration and migrant life.

    A colourful and enriching story. 'If you didn't laugh you'd cry'
