 > Filmed over 10 years\, <em>Constance on the Edge</em> is an unflinchingly
  honest portrayal of one refugee family’s resettlement story in Australia. 
 Brave\, charismatic Constance\, mother of six\, confronts her painful past 
 in war torn Sudan\, and risks everything in Australia so her family can thr
 ive. 'In Africa I was fighting for survival\; in the refugee camp I was fig
 hting for human rights\, and here in Australia\, I'm fighting for belonging
 .' Mary\, Constance’s niece\, finds it impossible to find a job in Wagga. V
 icky\, her daughter\, studies every morning from 4am\, hoping to get into u
 ni. Charles\, 23\, is struggling with alienation and depression. Constance 
 on the Edge gets to the heart of a contemporary untold story about the cour
 age and resilience it takes to build new lives. The film also highlights th
 e important role communities play in encouraging a sense of belonging and e
 nabling participation for everyone.</p><p>Learn more about the film and wat
