A disillusioned foreign domestic worker longs to be reunited with her family. Two men set off on a perilous journey of hope and hardship, as they are smuggled across borders in search of a better life. A young human rights lawyer works to expose the faults of the refugee protection system.  

In Don’t Box Us Up, lives will run into each other and connect in myriad ways. Exploring notions of distance and displacement, as well as its associated pain and confusion, this work questions whether we can stake a claim in a country that isn’t our place of birth - can we truly call this home?
