Shahin Shafaei is an Iranian actor and director who lives in Melbourne. His recent web series “Two Refugees and a Blonde” has well-received in Australia. In an interview with SBS Persian, he speaks about his new web series.


An outspoken blonde attempts to live with two erratic Muslim refugees.

 Zoe Hunter, an idealistic radio host who thinks shes worldly, challenges a prominent politician: why isnt Australia embracing refugees? When he turns the question back at her, Zoe proclaims she would gladly take refugees into her own home. Live on Air.

Her listeners and media applaud her and the Wake Up with Zoe Facebook page goes wild with thousands of new likes. Just as she begins to bask in the limelight, the doorbell rings. Sami and Muncle, two Iraqi asylum seekers, arrive on her doorstep, suitcases in hand: Which room is ours?!

Chaos ensues as the mismatched trio struggle to share Zoes boho townhouse, with hazardous consequences.
