The Rose Garden Film Screening

Many people yearn for connection, whether they want support on their mental health journey or simply want to make friends and have a sense of belonging.

We would love to shed awareness and advocacy of mental health in South Asian communities against the backdrop of the film ‘The Rose Garden’ followed by a Q/A panel with Shakti Mental Health and Australian South Asian Centre (ASAC).

Come join us for the first ever screening in Australia of the film 'The Rose Garden', a story of two estranged sisters who reconnect after the death of their parents. The films deals with mental health issues and the power of sisterhood.

After the screening, there will be a guided meditation, led by the lead actor Ria Patel and followed by a Mental Health Q&A with Ria Patel, Rumali Kularatne - Community Manager of ASAC, Jagesh Panchal - Founder of Shakti Mental Health and Sanduni Silva - Counsellor & Psychologist.

Whether you need the resources, support or looking to meet new people, this will be an evening of connection with others and most importantly, yourself.
