Falling for Sahara is a movie directed by Khoa Do about three refugees living in Australia named Ramsy, Beniam and MJ. All are faced with the challenges that come with not being Australian, from the very beginning of the movie they are victims to rascism. The three boys share the love for one girl and are confronted with the problems that follow in their friendship. Though there are cultural barriers between them and other Australians they find a common love for football.

I think the message of the film is about how Australians are seen from a refugee’s point of view and how much of a difference the colour of someone can make. The characters were portrayed well because the people playing them were actual refugees and possibly experienced the same things. The movie gives Australians a look into what it is like being a refugee living in Australia and the struggles they face each day.

In my opinion this movie was not very good, I found myself bored with the movie and lost interest. I think it was hard to believe that they were all in love with Sahara after only one meeting. Some scenes were pointless making the movie confusing. I rate this movie a 1 out of 5. If there were any improvements I would make to this film it would be to get rid of the scenes that were not necessary.
