Directed by Steve Thomas

Freedom Stories is a documentary based project that brings together a collection of personal stories from former people seeking asylum who sought asylum in Australia at a time of great political turmoil circa 2001, but who have long since dropped out of the media spotlight. The people who have participated in our project are all now Australian citizens. Given the ongoing controversies over ‘boat people’ it is timely that their stories be heard.
