Chasing Asylum: Australia's Offshore Detention Centres



Life in Australia's detention camps on Nauru and Manus Island through the eyes of asylum seekers and whistleblowers.


No asylum seeker arriving in Australia by boat will ever be settled in the country. With this harsh policy, Australia's government has stemmed the flow of hopeful asylum seekers reaching its shores.
Anyone picked up making the treacherous journey across the Indian Ocean is sent to Australia's offshore detention camps on the remote tropical islands of Manus and Nauru.
Once there, men, women and children are held in indefinite detention, away from media scrutiny.
Featuring never-seen-before footage of appalling living conditions and shocking testimonies from detainees and whistle-blowers who worked in the camps, Chasing Asylum exposes the effect of Australia's brutal policy for those seeking a safer home.
