• Escape From Woomera / Short Trailer of a documentary computer game in development

Woomera, the most publicised of the Australian detention camps, was closed down in April 2003. But many remain or are being replaced by 'improved' security camps. This Half-Life mod is near to public release, and highlights the horrendous conditions of illegal immigrants and camp detainers in the growing documentary game genre.
