Director's Statement:

Writing BONDY BOY was my way of reckoning with racism that i exhibited as a teenager - towards my best friend, my mother, and myself.With BONDI BOY, not only I - but audiences too - are able to look back at moments from my childhood with distance and maturity... and hopefully come away with a more empathetic understanding of how our society doesn’t just victimise minorities, but turns them into victimisers, against each other - and themselves. - Rhavin Banda
