Indian-Australian writer Roanna Gonsalves has produced an unflinching audio documentary looking at the struggles of Indian students in Australia. Racist violence is just one of the things that they have to negotiate.

Mixing personal experience, interviews, music and humour she explains how "a huge army of badly paid, badly housed, badly educated foreign students became Australia's third biggest export industry".
