Immediately following the premiere of the second series of Go Back to Where You Came From on Tuesday night, Mark Davis presents a special episode of Dateline from Sri Lanka investigating the new wave of asylum seekers bound for Australian shores.

Asylum seekers from Sri Lanka are turning up on boats in Australian waters in ever increasing numbers. As the flow continues to climb, Mark Davis talks to some of the mostly young men boarding boats every day, driven by desperation to make the life-risking journey.
