Australian Asylum Policies: Resettling Refugees in Papua New Guinea

In 2016 I spent six weeks in the city of Lae in Papua New Guinea, with unique access to the first group of refugees resettled from Manus Island, where I was able to experience their resettled life first-hand.

Following this experience, I wrote an article that was published in THE GUARDIAN newspaper, and gave a number of radio interviews – you can read and listen below.

“I have witnessed the total lack of mental support and infrastructure provided to these men, who – fresh from the trauma of their time in detention – have been left to fend for themselves far away from media scrutiny and the national spotlight. I have also witnessed scenes of despair and disillusionment as they realise the reality of their “resettled” life is very different from what they were led to believe, and at odds with the hollow rhetoric and political spin that is being fed to the Australian public. Papua New Guinea is an extraordinary country very close to my heart, but I can say with absolute surety that it is not an appropriate country in which to resettle refugees.”

(Excerpt – Resettling Refugees in Papua New Guinea: A tragic theatre of the absurd | The Guardian Newspaper | David Fedele | 20th May 2016).

REVENIR (TO RETURN) RECEIVED THE “JURY AWARD” AT THE DOCUMENT HUMAN RIGHTS FILM FESTIVAL 2018 IN GLASGOW, SCOTLAND.

STATEMENT OF THE JURY:

“We want to commend the film REVENIR and especially Kumut Imesh for his extraordinarily brave, honest and interrogative approach to his journey, past and present. At a time when we may feel our media is saturated with horrific tales of displaced people’s ordeals and public debate seems obsessed only with these people’s legitimacy, this film, and specifically Kumut’s manner and intuitive filmmaking ability, provided a fresh and much needed point of view on these events. His inherent ability to connect the human experience of others created the same connection for the audience. We wish the filmmakers every success in the future.”
