What happens

Stateless is an Australian television drama series launched on ABC TV on 1 March 2020. The six episodes were released on Netflix on 8 July 2020 and later removed in 2025. The series is partly inspired by the real-life story of Cornelia Rau, an Australian who was unlawfully detained under the Australian Government's mandatory detention program. The show has been criticized for misrepresenting the human rights issue of statelessness and disregarding the experiences of actual stateless people. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
