The Untold Story


I read an interview of late amongst the scientific discipline fiction author Iain Banks inwards which he said something that has been making me remember e'er since. He said,

"Living inwards a gated community in addition to employing hired musculus to buy the farm on yous comfy does non hateful yous alive inwards a piffling utopia. It agency yous alive inwards a dystopia in addition to tumble out to endure 1 of the privileged."

This seems to me to endure the perfect analogy for countries inwards the in addition to then called commencement world. We employ hired musculus inwards the course of study of immigration controls to buy the farm on us comfy inwards our piffling dystopias. To perpetuate the myth that nosotros truly alive inwards utopias the in conclusion affair that nosotros desire to listen is the personal stories of those 'others' that nosotros are in addition to then desperate to buy the farm on out.

Whatever our personal views on immigration are the stories of migrants deserve to endure told. I haven't seen the migrant's storey ameliorate told than inwards the Global Mail's novel mapped interactive written report on Hussain's Journey.

Filmmaker Matt Abbott gave Muhammad Hussain, a Hazara Pakistani nearly to ready out on a journeying to assay asylum inwards Australia, a video photographic tv set camera in addition to asked him to celluloid his experiences. The Global Mail's mapped written report starts off amongst Matt Abbot's ain recordings of Muhammad Hussain's household unit of measurement in addition to life inwards Karachi.

When Muhammad ready off on his unsafe journeying to Commonwealth of Australia he took over the filming himself. The mapped written report of this journeying allows yous to persuasion his experiences inwards rubber houses, inwards smugglers’ homes in addition to the in conclusion stretch across the sea inwards a rickety boat.
