Stateless is a 2020 Australian drama series based in part on the story of Cornelia Rau, a German citizen with a permanent Australian residency permit .
action
The German-born flight attendant Sofie Werner flees from her life in which she is patronized by her parents. She ends up in an obscure sect. After Sofie realizes what is really behind the sect, she flees again. While she was on the run, she was arrested by the Australian authorities and taken to a refugee detention center. There she meets an Afghan family of four, the Australian family man Cam, who works as a guard there, and the government official Clare, who has been assigned by the government to solve the problems in the refugee camp.
Parallels to the Cornelia Rau case
In 2004/2005, the flight attendant Cornelia Rau of German descent was accidentally interned in an Australian refugee camp for about ten months. Rau disappeared from a mental illness hospital in Sydney in March 2004 . In February 2005 it became known that she had been falsely detained first in Brisbane Women's Prison and later in the Baxter Detention Center because she did not want to reveal her true identity and was therefore classified as an illegal migrant by the Australian Immigration Service . The character Sofie Werner is based on Cornelia Rau.
Cast and dubbing
The German dubbing was based on a dubbing book by Ariane Huth and Boris Tessmann and directed by Boris Tessmann on behalf of SDI Media Germany.

Emily Thomey from WDR is of the opinion that the creators succeeded in a good mixture of entertainment and education about the conditions in Australian refugee camps and to shed light on the motives of the guards, journalists and demonstrators. She praises the complex story, the acting, the exciting script and the surreal setting in the Australian sun.
