This feature film is based on the true wartime story of 2,500 Jewish refugees mistaken for Nazi spies and transported on the British ship Dunera to Australia during World War II. Interned in the remote, broiling outback, the Dunera Boys, as they were called, set up an orchestra, political parties, a university, and a cafe.
The film doesn't show the full extent of the anti-semitism inherent in the Ritish armuy officers at the time - but gives a small taste. The Australians regard the landing of The Dunera boys as the biggest single influx of talent ever to come to Australia. Bob Hoskins is brilliant and the film is very moving - highly recommended.
