The sixth edition of the annual Refugee Festival (Malaysia) is starting this weekend (3rd - 5th December). Just like last year, in light of the pandemic, the festival will be held online. What’s interesting is that this year, for the first time, the festival will be directed by a refugee himself. We speak to the director of the festival, who’s a refugee from Afghanistan, Saleh Sepas.
