Immigration & Refugees Collection
Beamafilm
This diverse collection of documentaries explores the complex experiences of immigrants and refugees across different cultures and time periods. From the Indigenous Saami people in "Reindeer in My Saami Heart" to the Italian immigrants in "Lygon Street: Si Parla Italiano!", these films offer intimate portraits of cultural displacement and adaptation. "The Journey of Vaan Nguyen" examines the Vietnamese refugee experience, while "Kings in Grass Castles Miniseries" delves into Irish immigration to Australia. The collection also touches on themes of identity and belonging in "Island Home Country" and "Homelands," providing a nuanced view of the immigrant and refugee experience in Australia and beyond.
The Immigration & Refugees Collection is available for unlimited library streaming with flexible licensing options. Contact our marketing team for customised pricing or options tailored to your institution’s needs:
