Out of Fear is a 21-minute experimental documentary that conveys the personal
experiences of five people who have travelled to Australia seeking asylum.
Structured as a poetic essay, the film weaves together the stories of
their journeys from Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Iraq, of seeking
refuge, of living in detention and of their life after release.

Out of Fear juxtaposes the experiences of the five participants with
images from their daily life and withnews media
representations of refugees.

It is a documentary that challenges the way in which
we close our borders, our minds and our hearts
to the experiences of asylum seekers.
