Enhance your understanding of Torture and Trauma through this award winning documentary and training kit.

The 40 minute video depicts the stories of three families and their experiences with torture and trauma.

Part 1 (My father's daughter) looks at people from Indo-Chinese backgrounds, and the way previous traumatic events have impinged on their settlement in Australia.  This story focuses on the difficulties Mai and her father experience after their escape from Vietnam.  

Part 2 (The two deaths of Raul Pacheco) is the story of Raul Pacheco, a Latin American man with a history of torture since childhood.  Raul speaks in detail to a counsellor about his past, his new life in Sydney and the family he left behind.

In Part 3 (The Survivor), Zalmai Haidary speaks of his own experience with torture in Afghanistan.  The picture is shot in a mock prison cell portraying chilling details of torture.  This story is about rebuilding lives and survival.

In addition, the trainer's kit provides you with a range of complementary training materials to help you conduct training sessions on torture, trauma and refugee issues.
