"AUSTRALIA'S PACIFIC SOLUTION" a documentary film revealing the horrific truth of the NAURU DETENTION CAMPS
THURSDAY 19 DECEMBER @ 6.00PM KALEIDE THEATRE, 360 SWANSTON STREET ENTRY BY GOLD COIN DONATION proceeds towards phone cards for Baxter detainees In June 2002, Kate Durham assisted the BBC's documentary maker Sarah MacDonald to portray the Pacific Solution for a world audience, and for the ABC's "Four Corners" program. The ABC has declined to show the documentary, in spite of its great reviews and strong public reaction when it was broadcast on British and European networks at the end of September. The documentary reveals the squalor of the Nauru detention camps, as well as accusations of brutality - and even torture - perpetrated by our defence forces on shipwrecked asylum seekers. It introduces the opposition party of Nauru, and survivors who lost family members at sea. It also speaks of Kate's arrest and assault by the manager of the camps in Nauru. At this special screening of "Australia's Pacific Solution", hosted by the RMIT Community Advocacy Unit and Spare Rooms for Refugees, Kate will talk about her experience of Nauru. She will also discuss Julian Burnside's soon-to-be released report, "Soldiers, Sailors and Asylum Seekers", which is based on the letters and sworn statements of the detainees of Nauru.
