In the summer of 2002 a group of people, concerned about the mistreatment
of asylum seekers inside Australia's detention centres decided to embark on
a 2 months/15 000 kilometres journey around the continent.
>VILLAWOOD >MARIBYRNONG >WOOMERA >PERTH >PORT HEDLAND >CURTIN and back.
Their mission: visiting people inside the camps and creating more awareness
among the population, especially in rural towns.
Waking Up The Nation takes you on this inspiring journey, and introduces
you to many of the hundreds of people still incarcerated. It also exposes
some of the
mistreatments at the hands of the private corporation, which runs the
camps, and the government who supports it.
