Daniel CarrLooking forward to reading this! I hope a thoughtful read on creating an efficient, fair and humane border protection policy can be had, and that it might prompt public dialogue on this matter.12y

Wendy MalychaI know Ali and am thrilled his story will be told - he exemplifies just how much potential these young people bring to Australia. My only comment on the trailer is that the music diminishes the message, it masked Ali's voice and made it harder to hear him (the point of the documentary). For me the overly dramatic style of the music leaves the impression of a young man needing charity, rather than a young man who is inspirational in his achievements. Ali does not need charity, he needs acceptance, friendship, freedom and opportunity - the rest he will do himself.12y
Robyne Laird JonesEvery one no matter colour creed etc has the right to live a life in peace love and happiness if I can grant this to just one person my life will be a better for it but if we could grant this to thousands more what an amazing show of humanity to our fellow human beings and what an amazing place this planet could be, our hands should only ever be outreached to either embrace or give a hand up to man kind it should never be raised in anger or denial12y

Kaeleen DingleI hope this project and the book of essays gains wide media coverage and discussion. Although it appears that both of the major political parties and their supporters in the main-stream media just want the issue to go away. Sadly the human suffering and the push factors that lead to refugees leaving their country of origin will not go away..... I wish and hope for an intelligent, realistic and honest debate in Australia.12y

Bronwyn JewellIt is great to see considered and intelligent work being done to address this difficult issue - an apolitical approach is seriously needed.12y
