05/06/2017 It Is A Hard Slog To Watch, As It Digresses Into The Emotive Stories & Human Toll Of Ceasing The Global Trade In Human Trafficking, When There Is A Much Deeper Political Story At Play; That Being The Hearts & Minds Battle Of Maintaining Peace In A Globalised World, Where The Poor & Impoverish Have Less Say While The Bigger Cats (1st-World) Fight It Out Over Resources, Power & Capital Manipulation Or Military Might Within Countries. That Said, These Stories At Least Being Told Is Worth Every Minute Of Listening To. I Am At A Loss As To What The 'Best Outcome' Is For Us As A Planet, Treating Humans With Dignity, But Clearly People Cannot Live Amongst War (So There Are Those That Need To Flee) ..But Some Asylum Seekers Appeared To Have A Home To Go To, To Stay In Safely? But Chose To Leave For A "Better Life", Which Clearly Does Not Exist On A Tropical Island. The Modern Day Irony Of That Is Not Lost On Me Being A Western Watching Adverts On TV About "Escaping To A Tropical Island"; So All This Left Me Feeling Torn & Confused. No Answers There. But I'm Sure Some Whom Had Left A Reasonably Good Home Had 20:20 Vision Once They Were In The Hell That Is Manus Or Naru. :-/ See more 06/04/2016 An excellent documentary that every Aussie should watch. I walked out in tears, feeling lucky to be born into a middle class family with no persecution or poverty to have to flee from. "I think Australians are sick of being lectured to by the United Nations - particularly because we have stopped the boats"....seriously Tony? It's at times like this I am embarrassed to call myself an Auusie ?? See more 06/01/2016 Must see doco. Very disturbing documentary in content and angle of what is a horrendous situation for those imprisoned, and those who wait in hope of a safe & secure future. See more Read all reviews
