Australia Uncovered - Season 4
Sunday, 24 May – Sunday, 7 June 2026 on SBS On Demand
Award-winning documentary collection Australia Uncovered returns with three compelling stand-alone films that reveal remarkable Australian stories and offer fresh perspectives on the issues shaping the nation today.
Shut Your Big Fat Mouth John Safran! – Premieres Sunday 24 May at 7:30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand
John Safran’s incendiary new documentary, Shut Your Big Fat Mouth John Safran!, sees the author, documentarian and satirist undertake an unflinching exploration into how Australia responds to speech and ideas it finds offensive. Bringing his trademark wit and unpredictability to this fiercely contested debate, John wades into the national conversation that is raging between those who think free speech shouldn’t be unduly restricted in a democracy, and those who argue offensive speech and ideas should be regulated to protect the vulnerable.
The Hunt for the Last Nazis – Premieres Sunday 31 May at 7:30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand
In The Hunt for the Last Nazis, award-winning writer, producer and director Dan Goldberg investigates the story behind the alleged Nazi war criminals who immigrated to Australia after World War II and managed to evade justice. With exclusive access to rare and never-seen-before classified government files and video and audio recordings, the documentary reveals how hundreds, if not thousands, of alleged Nazi war criminals were able to hide in Australia. Decades later, the government launched a belated attempt to bring them to justice.
We Are Jeni – Premieres Sunday 7 June at 7:30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand
We Are Jeni reveals the story behind one of the most extraordinary criminal cases in Australian history. Dr Jeni Haynes developed more than 2,500 distinct personalities as a means of surviving severe childhood trauma. In a world-first legal precedent, her alter personalities (alters) were permitted to give evidence in court. Once dismissed as fractured, Jeni’s mind is now recognised as the very mechanism that preserved crucial evidence. This is the powerful story of how she, and her army of alters, were finally heard.
