Tells the inside story of the challenges the Lebanese Australian community has faced in Australia and how they have fought to overcome them.

The story begins in the 1970s when large numbers of Lebanese migrants flooded into Australia. Many were Muslim, most were traumatised by civil war, all were desperate to build a better future.
