Brisbane 1992: A boy, Amir, sees his parents on the news, under
arrest for protesting at the Iranian Embassy in Canberra against
atrocities in their homeland. Amir forces Hamid and Jhila to tell
their story, believing that a hostile Australian pubic will
understand their 'terrorist' actions which shows the bigger picture
of their past. Revitalising memories of his wrongful imprisonment
and torture in a Tehran jail, Hamid confronts an oppressive secret
which has blighted his beautiful new life in Australia. As his
lengthy trial continues, it is clear he has exchanged one nightmare
world for another. Yet even in the face of another jail term, Hamid
praises the Australian justice system...This play explores the
often unforgettable histories of refugees. It is a haunting account
of prejudice, injustice and brutality, tempered by a celebration of
human kindness and indomitable hope. (2 acts: 6 men, 2 women)
