This show has been on down here that is stirring up debate where ever you go.
I thought it was great to watch and was very interesting.


Ill put the TV channels website/direct link to the show and hope it works for you guys over there for you lot to watch.

It'd be interesting what you guys think of it and to see the debate that will rage after you watch it :)

Six ordinary Australians agree to challenge their preconceived notions about refugees and asylum seekers by embarking on a confronting 25-day journey. Tracing in reverse the journeys that refugees have taken to reach Australia, they travel to some of the most dangerous and desperate corners of the world, with no idea what is in store for them along the way.

Deprived of their wallets, phones and passports, they board a leaky refugee boat, are rescued mid-ocean, experience immigration raids in Malaysia, live in a Kenyan refugee camp and visit slums in Jordan before ultimately making it to the Democratic Republic of Congo and Iraq, protected by UN Peacekeepers and the US military. For some of them it’s their first time abroad. For all of them, it’s an epic journey and the most challenging experience of their lives.

Give it a shot.
Some of the things some of the 6 people say will make you go :eek::rolleyes::eek:
Then you think **** i know people that have said the exact same thing!

If people can sit and watch all the conspiracy theory junk then surely they can sit and watch this.

600,000 Australians did;)

They could stay in thier country and try to make it better instead of running away and expecting others to sort out their country for them.
 
I dont think I will ever understand the anti immigration stance of anyone who lives in Australia and isn't an Aboriginal. Almost all Australians are either European immigrants or descendents of European immigrants!

Fixed :p
 
The idea of people trying to improve their lives or that of their families seems harsh to criticise .. it's not their fault they were born into a nasty old country .. wouldn't you try to improve your lot if you were? I would ..

When I hear people hating on England .. I say to them 'well go somewhere else then'. People who stay somewhere they hate 'just because' it's where they were born are weak ..

Indeed - it's equally entertaining when you hear white Californians moaning about all the Mexicans here, apparently oblivious to the fact that only 150 years ago, California was in Mexico. :p
