Silence is complicity, but how do we confront the cost of speaking up?

Sydney, May 2021. Ashraf is an academic whose career and personal life are in freefall. Hannah is a young journalist struggling to honour the voices of her community. When a Year 12 student from a local Islamic college is arrested for protesting a university’s ties to an Israeli weapons manufacturer, Ashraf sees an opportunity to exploit his personal connection to the situation for professional redemption. Meanwhile Hannah, who is juggling the demands of new motherhood and family trauma, fights racism in the newsroom. As Israel’s bombardment of Gaza intensifies into the final weeks of Ramadan, Ashraf and Hannah must reckon with their choices, values and places in their communities. Will they be prepared to make sacrifices in the pursuit of what is right?

With a focus on two of today’s most contested fields, academia and the media, Discipline tallies the price we all pay when those with privilege choose to remain silent.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT US

I just received my order and wanted to say thank you for getting it sent out so quickly. I have bought from your shop a few times now and the orders always come within a few days (which is great because I sometimes buy last minute gifts!). But also wanted to say that the shop is great because I know I will always be buying products that are made not only by artists but women which is something I love to support. happy customers.
