518    Originally produced by Waratah Films in 2013. 
520    The film opens with the Australian government’s surprise 
       announcement to build Tasmania’s first detention centre 
       for 400 male asylum seekers at Pontville on the outskirts 
       of Hobart. The local community erupts with hostility as 
       the Department of Immigration host a public meeting. When 
       a suggestion is made at the local knitting club, to make 
       beanies for the asylum seekers, not everyone is in 
       support. Knitter and elderly Christian woman Mary is 
       strongly opposed to the Muslim asylum seekers. However she
       becomes curious to see the ‘luxurious life’ the detainees 
       are rumoured to have, so visits the centre a couple of 
       months later, as the beanies are delivered. Mary and four 
       other knitters become regular visitors to the asylum 
       seekers. The knitters’ friendships deepen with the men 
       from Afghanistan as they help knitting and craft 
       activities flourish within the detention centre. Asylum 
       seeker Mohammad provides revealing insights of life inside
       the detention centre and the knitters are surprised by the
       first hunger strike at the centre. When the detention 
       centre closes after six months some of the refugees decide
       to settle in Hobart. The knitters stay in contact with 
       them and we see a close relationship develop between 
       Mohammad and Mary. Despite their friendship Mary remains 
       uncomfortable with Mohammad’s Islamic beliefs.
