Wonderfully thought-provoking … until the cringeworthy harassment of refugees

“I still think there’s so much well done about this podcast story and the quality, but I had to stop at the later recording of the Sue pressing for answers from the girl’s father. Even with this short insight into their lives, inequalities, cultural differences, poverty, survival people have to endure as a result of socio-historical / colonial / global forces, it is not something many of us raised in advantage and relative peace dare imagine. So to then have a privileged journalist who lives safely and comfortably, may have seen things but this is not the same as the lived experience at all, press someone repeatedly to explain why they might lie about their life as if THIS was the most outrageous aspect… well, it just seemed wrong. I doesn’t condone leaving his wife and taking just one child, I get that. But it meant looking at this whole scenario, this whole sad situation and wondering what purpose or message was being heard if the voices of judgement are all Westerners of privilege? Sometimes I wonder if half the podcast was written and directed by a range of people who have experienced bring refugees, would the message be different? Maybe. Thought provoking yes. Acceptable journalistic voice? I just don’t know.”

“The story is well told and gives a sense of the incredible risks and miseries that people are prepared to take to lead a live a life worth living. Such a disappointment, then, to listen to Sue Mitchell’s in episode 10 summarise her thoughts on the messages of the story she’s just told. Especially...”Read full review »
