...is the title of a documentary/reality TV show that will air tonight on SBS at 8:30.
The show is about people's intolerance towards refugees who come to Australia. Apparently they take people who are racist, put them in the shoes of a refugee, and send them back the way the refugee came... i.e. shove them on a dingy little boat that's heading to a country which is most likely war-torn or poverty-stricken, so that they can experience what it's like first hand. And we're talking about racist people who've been quoted as saying things like, "When I saw that refugee boat crash, I thought, 'Serves you bastards right.'"
... T__T
This show sounds like a fantastic way to open ignorant eyes and hopefully change negative attitudes.
For anyone interested in watching, tune in to SBS at 8:30pm tonight for part 1, 8:30pm tomorrow for part 2, and 8:30pm on Thursday for part 3. If you miss any episodes, you can also watch them online here: http://www.sbs.com.au/shows/goback
