Behrouz Boochani: No Friend But The Mountains

Ever wondered what it is like to be a refugee held in offshore immigration detention? In No Friend But The Mountains Behrouz Boochani masterfully takes us into the core of the ghastly system. After reading his poetic descriptions of locations within the Manus Regional Processing Centre I can almost feel the atmosphere there through my skin. Radio producer Ros Elliot embarked on a project to record some excerpts from the book to play on her radio program The Bubble broadcast from Tribefm 91.1 in South Australia and has kindly allowed my to use those in this podcast. The excerpts are read by Leo Gortz. Between the segments from the book I've added some of my collection of songs about refugees.  MOZ All the Same COMBAT WOMBAT Asylum UNITED STRUGGLE PROJECT Life is A War EYE Refugees PATAPHSYSICS Asylum is a Crime
