I Hear You: Margot Robbie
Channel: Oxfam Australia
Date: 2016-12-07

Oxfam has launched the “I Hear You” project with some of Hollywood’s leading voices, to amplify the personal stories of the world’s most vulnerable refugees. 

The video series features Australian actress Margot Robbie, John Cho, Olivier Platt and others reading the real life stories of refugees from around the world who have been forced from their homes as they flee conflict, disaster, poverty, inequality, and the effects of climate change, in the hopes that you might hear their stories and join the campaign.

There are over 65 million people in the world today who have been forced from their homes, the highest number since World War II. While the need to address the refugee crisis is at an all-time high, unfortunately so is anti-refugee rhetoric. 

These are not just numbers, these are people, with individual stories just like every one of us. Now is a time for solidarity and compassion, not a time to close our minds, our hearts, or our borders.
