          HOME: The Story of Zak Moradi

Louth Local Development is delighted to host a screening of HOME: The Story of Zak Moradi followed by a post-show Q&A with Zak Moradi in the Droichead Arts Centre on Friday 20th June at 7pm.

This film highlights Zak's integration into Irish society, illustrating how Kurdish and Irish cultures merged in his life. It showcases his contributions as a hurling player for Leitrim, and his efforts against racism, through work with organisations like SARI and the One Foundation.

The documentary also follows Zak’s emotional return to Kurdistan, capturing the beauty of Kurdish culture. It addresses the severe impact of the conflict by visiting sites like Halabja and refugee camps in Arbat, offering a comprehensive view of Zak’s character, history and family.

The film screening is a free event and is part of Louth Local Development's participation in Refugee Week. This is a week where we celebrate community and connection, and everyone is welcome. It takes place from the 16-22 June.
