Stateless

Created by Cate Blanchett, Tony Ayres, Elise McCredie

On ABC TV

A tightly woven six-episode drama that uses a detention center as a pressure chamber to examine identity, belonging, and systemic injustice through four interconnected lives.

Four strangers — a flight attendant escaping a suburban cult, an Afghan refugee fleeing persecution, a young Australian father escaping a dead-end job, and a bureaucrat caught up in a national scandal — are stuck in an immigration detention center in the Australian desert. Inspired by true events.
