Waking Up The Nation takes you on their inspiring journey. On-board the colorful "Freedom Bus" a strange mix of housewives, teens, hippies and uni students have their run-ins with overzealous cops, racist small town locals, and burly prison guards. Most importantly, this road-movie style documentary introduces you to many of the people detained in these desert-camps. Additional video footage smuggled out of some of these prisons show chilling and heart-breaking images and prove that something is going on out in Australia's remote corners that the international community should know about.
