Synopsis:

Each day the newspapers alert us to the arrival of yet another boat. The stories remain the same - Australia is unable to handle any more refugees. But have we forgotten about the plight of those on the boats? Who are they? Where have they come from? Why have they had to leave their homes? What is it really like being on-board a leaky riverboat in the middle of the ocean? Mother Fish takes us on-board a fishing boat with two teenage sisters as they take an unforgettable journey with their uncle and a young fisherman in search of a new home. The four are forced to overcome tremendous challenges as they do everything they can to reach land. From award-winning director Khoa Do comes a deeply moving story of humour, pathos and hope.

The inspiring story of four refugees fleeing Vietnam in 1980, MOTHER FISH goes inside the mind of one of the survivors. The present melds with the past as a quiet factory worker relives the extraordinary journey when she and her sister took to the sea in a creaky river boat in search of a better life.

Behind every headline, every policy and every queue...is a human face.
