Video of Compassion Caravan to Leonora detention centre




On the 21 January a group of about 30 activists travelled over 800km on the compassion caravan to Leonora detention centre. To protest the the inhumane treatment of refugees, particularly locking up children for years in remote detention centres.

This is the documentary of the journey to a detention centre, the human rights abuses that happen there, the secrets that the government wants to hide from the public and activists who are committed to stopping it happen.
