STORYLINE

In New Zealand, a small group of refugees is being assimilated into a new way of life. Before September 11th the world was watching every step of their flight from Afghanistan. The Australian government turned them away after a rescue at sea. It was an impasse which resonated throughout every part of the world having problems with refugees. New Zealand took them - but their story is far from over - uncertainty clouds the future of Afghanistan - a place to call home a distant prospect.
