THEME : Escaping the homeland - refugee stories

This is a compilation of clips from four very different stories that all relate to escaping danger or repression in their homelands and eventually making their way to Tasmania to start a new life.  This compilation features :  Reza, a Hazara from Afghanistan. Nancy, whose family was deeply effected by the 1973 military coup in Chile by the notorious General Pinochet. Cedrick, whose family had to flee civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo , and Jenny/Yenni, who experienced Russian tanks rumbling into her home city of Kosice after the Soviets occupied Czechoslovakia, crushing the Prague spring in 1969 and snuffing out the country's little whiff of freedom.
