In the week that saw Australia's 40 million dollar refugee resettlement deal with Cambodia finally labelled an expensive joke, comes the trailer for Seeking Asylum, the new documentary by Australian Academy Award-winning director Eva Orner.Speaking to VICE last year, Eva described the experience of working in the US while watching Australian refugee policy become increasingly driven by what she sees as a xenophobic agenda. "Xenophobia is a polite way of saying racism," she said. "For the past few years I've been watching what's going on here from a distance."Spurred into action, she decided to make a film about what was really going on. "Films have been made about refugees and asylum seekers," she added, "but I wanted to make something on a bigger scale, that consolidates recent history and a lot of information into a more global film that will be seen internationally as well as here in Australia."According to the film's press release, Chasing Asylum includes confronting insights from individuals the Australian government wish to silence—people who have worked on Manus Island and Nauru—including security guards, social workers and interpreters. Their shocking accounts of daily life in the detention centres underscore the gravity of Australia's policies.Chasing Asylum is in cinemas nationally this May.
