Anubumin

The film focuses on Nauru, a tiny island in the Pacific consisting of calcite and phosphate, which since 1906 has been mined and exported. When phosphate extraction came to a stop in the 1980s, Nauru was bankrupt and 80 percent of the land area uninhabitable and infertile. In an attempt to generate income, in the 1990s Nauru became a prime money-laundering haven. After the disappearance of soil and money, today Nauru involves in the “disappearance of people” – housing one of Australia’s offshore refugee detention centres. Four whistleblowers, who worked there as doctors and nurses, describe the institutionalised human rights violations in the offshore detention.
