Description: Why would a boy leave everyone and everything he'd ever known to run for protection? And what if, when he did, he ran right into a different political wall?

Find out how Zaki, who left Afghanistan a scared boy and arrived in Australia labelled an ‘illegal maritime arrival’, negotiated hunger, the Sydney property market and a visa that wouldn’t let him work or study in Australia, to become an award-winning student who still isn’t allowed to call himself Australian, in episode two of Temporary.

"If I was allowed to work, I could have paid tax, I could have paid my tuition fees with my own money. I don’t know why we weren't allowed to work, we weren’t allowed to learn English."
