1,000 activists rallied at #Woomera detention centre on 30 March 2002. #Refugees inside the centre scaled the five-metre-high fence and leapt into the crowd. 50 escaped & most recaptured BUT some were never caught. Ongoing protests won some permanent visas - including the 13 who were not recaptured In 2003 Wommera was permanently closed. refugees' actions at Woomera in 2002 showed that militant protest could force governments to grant concessions and begin to turn the tide of mass opinion.

A confronting 1-hour #documentary about #refugee policy in #Australia, The pivotal action of the documentary is the 2002 #Woomera refugee prison outbreak
– after months of #protests, including hunger strikes, 53 refugees escape during the Easter protest, supported by hundreds of outraged #Australians. After witnessing the outbreak the audience is invited to consider the complex issues arising from this border crossing; in particular the diversity of constructions about protest, #activism and the success of #directaction.
Holiday Camp (#Adelaide/ #Hamburg 2002) investigates the current Australian immigration policies, in the context of 200 years of #colonization, connecting the issues of indigenous #dispossession, #genocide, and the #incarceration of refugees.
It explores the implications of the mandatory #detention #system and the construction of national borders. ‘Holiday Camp’ challenges us to consider what risks do we take…Holiday Camp - how is your #liberation bound up with mine?

After 21 yrs I reveal what we did at Woomera on Good Friday when razor wire fences fell & some refugees escaped. We, members of HOPE Caravan, held a big crystal together & we focused our energy/attention on the crystal to MANIFEST FREEDOM 4 the refugees.
