In 2005 Dominik graduated from Monash University with a combined degree in Arts and Law and a major in politics. After University he travelled extensively throughout Sri Lanka and Southern Africa and during these travels filmed stories that focused on the political, economic and social aspects of life for young people living in those countries and the issues that impacted their development.
Dominik will speak about his experiences in Zimbabwe, while reporting on the 2008 March elections. He will comment on the moments that have defined this critical period in the country’s history and also evaluate the political, economic and cultural influences that will shape the nation’s future.
Visual footage that he filmed whilst in Zimbabwe will also be screened to provide a deeper insight into the current challenges facing the country and its people.
His time in Zimbabwe culminated in the 2007 documentary "Bowling for Zimbabwe" which premiered at the inaugural Human Rights Arts and Film Festival in Melbourne last year and was also selected to screen at the New Zealand Human Rights Film Festival this year.
