"The human dimension of the problem is kept well hidden.

In this documentary Julian Burnside traverses the globe to see how other Western countries treat refugees.

The film provides a unique insight into the lives of one Aboriginal family over five generations and how past government policies continue to impact on Aboriginal people today.
