AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The boundaries between fiction and reality merge as three stories of love, family and relationships play out amidst homelessness, drugs and crime. Set in infamous Cabramatta, widely regarded as the "crime and drug capital" of Australia, the film is a glimpse into the lives of those youths whom we notice living on the streets, but belong to the "brick wall" that we see but never hear from.'

— Appears in: Journal of Intercultural Studies , vol. 35 no. 3 2014; (p. 281-294) 'This article describes developments in Vietnamese Australian community arts in the context of recent reforms to Community Cultural Development (CCD) funding. While a discussion of two case studies suggests these reforms have encouraged a shift towards post-welfarist and enterprising modes of project development, the article argues that conspicuously ‘cosmo-multiculturalist’ and ‘sentimental aesthetics’ cannot be explained entirely in terms of post-1980s cultural policies of the Australian Labour government. The article concludes that recent attempts to link CCD work to professional arts networks were in fact anticipated by the explicit agendas of Vietnamese Australian CCD workers themselves, although for quite different purposes.'
