Child detainee struggles to stay alive

A scene from award winning Australian film AZADI partly shot on location at the notorious real-life riots at the Woomera Detention Centre in 2002, where over 50 detainees escaped during the Easter Sunday riots.

Azadi is a 2005 Australian short film directed by Anthony Maras and produced by Scott McDonald in association with the Australian Film Commission, the Adelaide Film Festival Investment Fund and the South Australian Film Corporation.

Azadi was one of the first serious dramas exploring the issue of mandatory detention of asylum seekers in Australia and had numerous real-life refugees, detention centre guards and social workers involved in its making.

The film has earned numerous accolades on the international festival circuit and has screened on broadcast television, festivals and at human rights events the world over.
