‘By land, by sea, by air’ by Max Chalmers
In Sydney’s Western suburb of Lakemba, Rohingya refugees are building a new community. They’re from Myanmar, next to Bangladesh and many of them have fled a lifetime of persecution. Sajeda is one of them, but after finally making it to Sydney and settling in Lakemba, she starts to itch over some unfinished business, and she might have to leave the safety of the bubble she only just entered.
Supervising producer: Selena Shannon
Music: ‘Small Wonders’ by Stuart Andrew Roslyn, ‘Smokey mountain wind chimes’ by Nikolaj Sune Bloch, BAZAAR B by ‘Paul Norman’ and ‘Adrift’ by Tom Howe
