Unlike other people at the camp, Sofie wants to be deported back to Germany, where (she thinks) she’s from, which is nearly sadistic compared to how others deeply fear their home country, and chose to live in such dire conditions at the camp with hopes of becoming Australian.
By the end of episode one, she's shows up dazed and dirty at Barton, answering to a different name, Eva Hoffmann.
Let's start with miniseries' main surrogate into its refugee experience, an Australian flight attendant named Sofie ( Yvonne Strahovski). But the most frustrating issue here is one of narrative focus-"Stateless" engages the refugee crises with some extremely tedious optics. It's successfully immersive with its filmmaking, with its handheld camerawork and love for a good close-up often trapping a viewer inside the sweaty environs of its fictional Australian refugee camp, the Barton Immigration Detention Center. Countless nations have made their borders harsh instead of welcoming, creating institutions that dehumanize people looking for sanctuary.ĭirected by Emma Freeman and Jocelyn Moorhouse with three episodes each, this sullen six-episode miniseries concerns the captives but especially their captors. The credits to each episode of Netflix's “Stateless” tout that it's not only “Based on an idea by Cate Blanchett,” but that it's “Inspired by true events.” That last part is verifiable without having to know the exact inspired details, as its depiction of life inside a refugee camp in Australia is like a microcosm for a universal crises.
