Lucky Miles is a movie which every Australian should see. It deals delicately and stylishly with the topics of illegal immigration, cross-cultural interconnectedness and isolation, while also presenting a gripping and sometimes beautifully humorous narrative. By presenting the stories of the two groups of boat people in a non-judgemental and value neutral manner this film could go a long way towards repairing Australia's generally xenophobic international reputation.
The different, and yet intimately connected stories draw the reader in and immerse them in the stark reality of the Australian outback. As one character points out, it is hard to see this landscape as human, let alone as being part of a developed country. As the viewer joins the immigrants, locals and indigenous trackers through their travails of surviving this atrocious climate they are also led (metaphorically) through the intricacies of our immigration policy.
