Review of Chasing Asylum (2016) by Timm S — 05 May 2017
It Is A Hard Slog To Watch, As It Digresses Into The Emotive Stories & Human Toll Of Ceasing The Global Trade In Human Trafficking, When There Is A Much Deeper Political Story At Play; That Being The Hearts & Minds Battle Of Maintaining Peace In A Globalised World, Where The Poor & Impoverish Have Less Say While The Bigger Cats (1st-World) Fight It Out Over Resources, Power & Capital Manipulation Or Military Might Within Countries.
That Said, These Stories At Least Being Told Is Worth Every Minute Of Listening To. I Am At A Loss As To What The 'Best Outcome' Is For Us As A Planet, Treating Humans With Dignity, But Clearly People Cannot Live Amongst War (So There Are Those That Need To Flee) .
.But Some Asylum Seekers Appeared To Have A Home To Go To, To Stay In Safely? But Chose To Leave For A "Better Life", Which Clearly Does Not Exist On A Tropical Island. The Modern Day Irony Of That Is Not Lost On Me Being A Western Watching Adverts On TV About "Escaping To A Tropical Island"; So All This Left Me Feeling Torn & Confused.
No Answers There. But I'm Sure Some Whom Had Left A Reasonably Good Home Had 20:20 Vision Once They Were In The Hell That Is Manus Or Naru. :-/.
