This mini documentary explores the harsh reality of direct provision

Direct provision is one of the most divisive human rights issues that Ireland faces as a western nation.

Established as a temporary measure to house asylum seekers in 1999, the system remains in place 17 years later and has been widely criticised for eroding the freedom of those within it.

Some asylum seekers can spend many years living in centres around the country as they wait for their applications to be processed.
