Crossing the line

Crossing the Line follows two young medical students from the University of Tasmania, Amy and Paul, as they leave their safe middle class environments for an eight week placement in the remote indigenous communities on Mornington Island. Here, for the first time, they confront the realities of indigenous health care. As they move beyond their professional roles at times, there is an ongoing tension between their personal experience and the professional distance they are supposed to maintain. This film offers a rare insight into the practical realities of providing Western medical services to indigenous communities and illustrates ways in which engagement can contribute to an improvement in the crisis in Aboriginal health today.

  • "This film follows two medical students, from the University of Tasmania, Paul Joffe and Amy McCormack, on an eight-week clinical placement in a remote indigenous community, on Mornington Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Includes footage of the students' work amongst the local people, as they tend to their needs for medical care, treatment and advice, as well as their relationships with them. At the end of the assignment, both students feel quite affected and touched by their experiences, which will likely influence their future career decisions and decision-making."

  • ""When two, young non-Indigenous medical students go to work in a remote Aboriginal community; their professional precepts and personal ideas are deeply challenged. Crossing The Line follows the journeys of Amy and Paul, two young medical students who leave their safe middle class homes and university behind to be thrust into the harsh reality of everyday life on Mornington Island. Throughout the 8-week placement in this remote indigenous community, Amy and Paul move beyond their professional roles to make personal connections with some of the locals. There is an ongoing tension between their personal experience with the community and the professional stance and distance they are told they need to maintain in order to practise professionally.
