Extraordinary Footage of Port Hedlund “Riots”

This video has just surfaced.
—
The video includes footage of the Port Hedland detention centre riots from May 2001 and was leaked by an anonymous guard shortly after the riot occurred, a time when the media was denied access to Australian detention centres.
The footage came to light after producers of the US reality television program Most Shocking sought it from the Australian Migrant Resource Centre this year. The producers of the program, which airs on Channel Seven, eventually rejected the Port Hedland tape on the grounds that it wasn’t “pro government forces”.
