EXTRACT: I've been in this refugee camp for two months. Last night the guards beat me and put me in prison. They found me outside the camp. I didn't want to escape. I just wanted water. Its summer and there is no water in the camp, so I had to do something. They said if I'd been older they would have shot me. I was only looking for water

EXTRACT: So now I will sit with my mother and girlfriend and sew my stories onto pillows. We send them to our relatives in Hobart, who sell them at a market and send us the money. Sometimes we use the money for food or medicine, and sometimes its taken by the guards. But we keep sewing. We have too, because one day it will buy us a new life.
