I have a whole list of Related Texts (films) and I was wondering whether anyone could tell me (if you have seen any of these films), which of these texts relate to Peter Skrzynecki's 'Immigrant Chronicle' Poems. Any help would be appreciated.

Beneath Clouds - journey of the main characters can be compared to the journey of the migrants. There is learning involved in the film as there is also an understanding reached by the migrants in Crossing the Red Sea.

I'm still in the journeys frame of mind having done it for my HSC, so if this is about belonging. . I guess you can say the main characters in Beneath Clouds feel a detachment from there families and probably main stream society; they do no 'belong'. As for Crossing the Red Sea, the migrants initially do not feel they are ready for this sea voyage to an unknown land; they feel they do not belong there. Overtime, the main characters in Beneath Clouds come to learn that they do belong in a greater world where there actual people who care about them; they learn they are worthwhile people. As in Crossing the Red Sea, the migrants learnt that there is always hope and feel a sense of belonging connected to the future.

Sorry, if I have the concept of belonging totally wrong.
