In 1940, more than 2500 European refugees who had sought sanctuary in England were deemed to be 'enemy prisoners'. Deported to Australia on His Majesty's Transport Dunera, they were sent to an internment camp in Hay, New South Wales. In When Friends Were Enemies, former internees (back in Hay for a reunion) relate their experience, from their flight to England from an increasingly xenophobic pre-World War II Europe to their 'arrest' and deportation to Australia. The men describe the conditions on HMT Dunera and their experiences in Australia and in the internment camp. Interwoven with the interviews are historical footage and photographs. The second compilation tape includes raw footage not included in the documentary.
