Independent filmmaker Aaron Fernandes on the conditions at the Manus Island refugee detention centre

Aaron Fernades traveled to the remote Manus Island in Papua New Guinea earlier this year to investigate Australia’s controversial detention policy and the lives it continues to affect. The result was an independent documentary produced for Al Jazeera.

Ray Grenfell of Perth Indymedia spoke to Aaron to find out what exactly the conditions were like at the Manus Island facility and how the community felt about the detention centre.
