Bonegilla - The Migrants Journey (Dir: Simon Reich – 86m) After the Second World War, the Australian government decided to accept immigrants from countries other than the British Isles. This was the real beginning of the multi-cultural nation Australia would become. In this documentary, migrants from that period tell of the many hardships and amazing survival stories of their lives. They also frankly tell of the difficulty of assimilating into Australian society. You'll laugh. You'll cry. But most of all you'll be truly inspired by these gutsy pioneers to a country they knew nothing about. Live piano and violin to accompany the feature.
