With the help of our wonderful interstate Support Groups, IWDA will be running film fundraiser screenings of Eat, Pray, Love in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and McLaren Vale!
Elizabeth Gilbert (Julia Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having – a husband, a house, a successful career – yet like so many others, she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wanted in life.
Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery.
In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali. Based upon the bestselling memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat,Pray,Love proves that there really is more than one way to let yourself go and see the world.
Proceeds will support IWDA’s work supporting practical and rights-based initiatives that directly address poverty, oppression and gender inequality in Asia and the Pacific. And thanks to Cocoa Farm’s kind donation, you will also have delicious chocolates to indulge on during the film!

Instead of Eat Pray Love, we will be showing Sabah, a love story set in Canada which charts the trials, tribulations and exultations of a Muslim woman’s relationship with a man who shares neither her heritage nor her religious beliefs. With intelligence and wit, this film contemplates some of the implications the merging of cultures has for the contemporary world.
