Lucky Miles

This little Australia-made film is a real treat.  Lucky Miles is based on a collection of actual events and tells the story of a group of Iraqi and Cambodian men illegally unloaded on a very VERY remote stretch of Australian coastline.  Most of the men are rounded up fairly quickly by the authorities, but three men without a plan, a clue, or even a remote sense of direction, much less the sheer scale of the place in which they've been set loose, manage to elude capture for over a week.  Through sheer accident they manage to survive some of the harshest and most unforgiving terrain on the planet.  The story is told with a fair degree of humor, yet doesn't fail to impress upon you the peril these men face.  It's well told, well acted, and certainly worth a watch!
