Overview
On an isolated island in the Indian Ocean, land crabs migrate in their millions from the jungle to the sea. The same jungle hides a high-security Australian detention centre where thousands of asylum seekers have been locked away indefinitely. Their only connection to the outside world is trauma counsellor Poh Lin Lee, who visits them every day to offer her support, travelling through the island's beautiful yet threatening landscape. From Australia writer/director Gabrielle Brady, Island of the Hungry Ghosts is a poetic and profoundly moving hybrid documentary that glides between the migrations of the biosphere and the chaotic movement of humans with surreal grace.
