The series of ‘Go Back to where you came from’ follows 6 ordinary Australians from different ages, backgrounds and view point on the issue of asylum seekers. These Australians become a part of a social ‘experiment’ to chase the refugee experience. Their journeys are depicted through episodes 1-3, which will be analyzed in this essay along with the various discoveries that were made by both the participants and the viewers. In the first episode we are introduced through short vignettes to all 6 participants; Raye, Roderick, Adam, Darren, Raquel and Gleny. The first episode immediately reveals us their where they are from, their age and their occupation as well as their personal opinions about the issue of asylum seekers. The viewer is then introduced to their ‘controller’ socialist Dr. David Corlett who introduces the journey and sequence of events that will be occurring throughout the social experiment. Another un-seen participant in this series is the narrator; he plays an important role in linking stories with facts such as statistics and background knowledge that educates the viewers along the episodes. The narrator also has an emotional impact on the viewers from the tone of his voice. The story begins with the participants meeting refugees who have reached their final destination in Australia after a experiencing a traumatic and life changing refugee journey. In the first event, the viewer and the participants are exposed to the final destination of the refugee experience; this reverse sequence of events allows the viewer and participant’s curiosity to grow. David Corlett decides on a clever group dynamic which was to divide the participants into two groups of three to allow each group to experience the different ways of migration: legal and illegal. This dynamic helps the participants and the viewer’s to attain knowledge from both personal viewpoints. The initial stage of the experiment started when the participants are told that they will meet and live with refugees who have reached the end of their journey and settled in Australia. Group 1 which included Raquel, Raye and Roderick were invited into the home of the African Masudis family, who settled in Australia legally. Group 2 which involved Gleny, Adam and Darren, travel to Liverpool to be introduced to several Iraqi men who arrived in Australia illegally. All participants enter the homes of these refugees to talk to them and hear about their refugee stories, before they go to Darwin to embark a boat trip of their own. This reverse structure affects the element of discovery by giving the participants a first-hand account of the ongoing trauma involved with being a refugee. Also, as a viewer you are able to realise that there is a reason behind why which participants entered which group. 21 year old unemployed Raquel from Western Sydney immediately mentions in the beginning of the first episode that: “I guess I’m a bit racist, I just don’t like Africans”; from this statement we are able to create a link to why she was placed in the group that was invited to spend time with an African family. This allowed her to confront her view on Africans and was a small step to assisting her in discovering the nature of humanity. Former military Daren from Adelaide had a very harsh opinion on illegal migration, he used the term “expatriated” when speaking about what should be the consequence of illegal immigrants, and he also stated confidently that immigrants come with only th
