The Untold Story

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

"Living inwards a gated community in addition to employing hired musculus to snuff it on you lot comfy does non hateful you lot alive inwards a piffling utopia. It agency you lot alive inwards a dystopia in addition to give off to hold upward 1 of the privileged."

This seems to me to hold upward the perfect analogy for countries inwards the then called start world. We employ hired musculus inwards the degree of immigration controls to snuff it on us comfy inwards our piffling dystopias. To perpetuate the myth that nosotros genuinely alive inwards utopias the finally matter that nosotros desire to listen is the personal stories of those 'others' that nosotros are then desperate to snuff it on out.

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

Filmmaker Matt Abbott gave Muhammad Hussain, a Hazara Pakistani almost to laid upward out on a journeying to attempt asylum inwards Australia, a video photographic tv set camera in addition to asked him to celluloid his experiences. The Global Mail's mapped study starts off amongst Matt Abbot's ain recordings of Muhammad Hussain's identify unit of measurement in addition to life inwards Karachi.

When Muhammad laid upward off on his unsafe journeying to Commonwealth of Australia he took over the filming himself. The mapped study of this journeying allows you lot to stance his experiences inwards security houses, inwards smugglers’ homes in addition to the concluding stretch across the body of body of water inwards a rickety boat.
