Do I Really Belong Here?

The migration of people across the world isn't a novel idea...after all, all humans can trace their origins back to Africa. As a displaced African (Liberian, specifically), living in the U.S. for the past 20 years, I feel a connection to the stories of other Africans living outside their homeland.  Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) produces a well-made interactive documentary series called Africa to Australia: Do I Really Belong Here?, which tells the stories of Africans who migrated there, either by choice or by force, and gives a human face to the issue of immigration and displacement.
