We Will Be Remembered For This - Australia's immigration policy compounding vulnerability

We will not only be remembered for this - we will constantly be reminded of this in the future. I don't yet know what the ramifications may be, but it doesn't take a genius to know that arriving in Australia by the means that many refugees and asylum seekers have, only to be locked up in something that can only be called a prison, with limited access to even rudimentary health care and education is...well, any resilience you have is largely due to your own strength of character, and no thanks to the Australian government.

Anyway - check out the trailer for a flick by some people I know. You can see it at the film's MySpace or at Jessie Taylor's blog (this one's got music). Let's hope the film takes off.
