tzkreed Unbelievably moving. I wish many people would have a chance for this experience. Maybe the world may be a little bit more understanding. S1E03 - " I need to attach to your heart ". <3
Babak "Go Back to Where You Came From" is an excellent three hour series which does an amazing job of exposing the humanity behind the plight of refugees. Immigration and refugee policy is a political and social issue which is frequently oversimplified and misunderstood, with xenophobia and ignorance often prevailing over facts. By documenting six Australians with varying views on the subject being intimately exposed to the hardships experienced by refugees, the subject is explored from a personal and emotional level. Often confronting and frequently heart-wrenching, it should be mandatory viewing for any individual who bears no compassion for refugees. At the end of his journey, one of the six Australians concludes: "People say it's not good to let emotions get involved in decisions, but, I think that's life. Life's built on emotions." I agree.
