A factual account of a young Northern Ireland family who immigrated to Australia in 1973 shortly after the beginning of the Troubles in 1969, but they would soon learn that Australia was not the so called "Lucky Country" as Australians claim it to be.As well as recording the personal journey of experiences of this family, which would eventually see them become Prisoners of Circumstances, this account delves into many of Australia's social issues, via statistics, such as Employment, Sport, Crime, Religion and Suicide comparing these with some of the other O.E.C.D countries. The results of such will no doubt shock many.But perhaps the most compelling statistics are those which highlight Australia's vulnerability in the South Pacific, and what it may mean for its future.
