RAC are happy to team up with Oscar-winning director Eva Orner to present a screening of her new documentary Chasing Asylum – an important documentary detaining the human cost of Australia’s refugee policy. There will be a Q&A with Eva after the film.

“CHASING ASYLUM exposes the real impact of Australia’s offshore detention policies and explores how ‘The Lucky Country’ became a nation where leaders choose detention over compassion, and governments deprive the desperate of basic human rights. The film features never before seen footage from inside Australia’s offshore detention camps, revealing the personal impact of sending those in seach of a safe home to languish in limbo.

“CHASING ASYLUM expores the mental, physical and even the fiscal consequences of Australia’s decision to lock away families in unsanitary conditions away from media scrutiny, destroying their lives under the pretext of saving them.”
