Refugee Rights film screening


Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

A 52 minute documentary looking at the circumstances and decisions that leads someone to become a "boat person".

Jessie Taylor and Ali Reza Sadiqi traveled across Indonesia and met with 250 asylum seekers in jails, detention centres and hostels. Through candid interviews, hidden camera footage and in the words of refugees themselves, the story of "refugee" is told.

What pushes people to leave home? What do they leave behind? What do they fear? Why did they choose this path? And what does it take to turn someone into a "boat person"?

Meet the human faces behind the most controversial issue of our time.
