Clip description

Lebanese men say that the police in the south-west of Sydney are prejudiced against them. A Lebanese father of six children says he feels unsafe in his house. We see the men in their backyards, and their families inside their houses.

Curator’s notes

The director effectively captures the barren outer suburban environment, and the fears of the men.
