Written and Directed by Kuranda Seyit, Produced and Edited by Fadle El-Harris, this masterful documentary explores the history of the outback Afghan cameleers. It features touching interviews with cameleer descendants and fascinating insights from expert historians. This well researched documentary shares the amazing 150 year history of the cameleers; from the heart-felt love story of young Aboriginal woman Lallie and cameleer Jack Akbar, through the harrowing years of segregation and discrimination of the 'white Australia policy', to their survival and ultimate legacy of sacrifice and service in the outback. These are the men who lived their lives by compass and Quran.
