    David Strathairn as Edward R. Murrow in George Clooney's Good Night and Good Luck

The We Do Tube Too Farm

Hello, and welcome to some of the You Tube trailers, or links to trailers or movies we want to point you to or introduce you to.

While it's unlikely that you'll be able to watch many movies directly from our website, because they eat lots of resources, you will be able to find a growing number of direct links to them. After all, these days www.myspace.com, the place where You Tube lives, is owned by our own Rupert Murdoch, and who said we weren't patriotic? So, We Tube Too these days!

We Tube Too  17 November 2006: We Will Be Remembered For This: a Film about Australia - The film-makers' objective was ... to rise above social, cultural and political differences, to draw out common threads upon which all could agree ... this film strips back politics and encourages viewers to see the issue for what it really is: profoundly human.

We Will Be Remembered For This

A Film About Australia

In 2006, a group of young people of different nationalities, backgrounds, attitudes and political views took a trip to the Baxter Detention Centre. The stories of the people they met behind the razor wire surprised, moved and challenged them.

We Will Be Remembered For This documents their journey. It is a film for everyone. It is a clear, rational and nonpoliticised look at the human issues of Australia's mandatory immigration detention policy. This film poses the essential questions surrounding Australia's refugee policy. Who are the people behind the fences? How did they come to be there? What are the psychological and legal battles they now face? How much do average Australians know about this policy, and if they knew the truth, would they want it to change?
