In the second instalment of this award-winning series, six prominent Australians risk their lives to experience the reality of refugee life as they embark on an extraordinary and confronting three-week journey. Tempers flare as the Australians - Peter Reith, Catherine Deveny, Angry Anderson, Michael Smith, Imogen Bailey, and Allan Asher - move in with resettled refugees and asylum seekers.

In this episode, the refugee experiment gets bolder still. The Australians experience two countries torn apart by war. With ever-present danger, their differences become more pronounced. In Afghanistan, Reith, Deveny, and Anderson arrive as riots break out across the country.

They meet victims of violence and visit makeshift camps for displaced Afghanis.

In the final episode, the Australians head for Indonesia. They live with a refugee family in Jakarta, desperate to get on a boat no matter what the risk. Reith, Deveny and Anderson travel to the island of Roti, a recruiting ground for people smugglers. But the young men they meet are not the villains they expected. The six Australians then become boat people themselves, aboard an Indonesian fishing vessel headed for Christmas Island and directly into the eye of a storm. Finally, with unprecedented access to detainees, the journey reaches an emotion-charged conclusion within the walls of the notorious Christmas Island Detention Centre.
