The Idea of Australia

This bold and provocative series asks the question – what is ‘The idea of Australia’ and what could we become? Presented by Rachel Griffiths, the four-part documentary explores the myths that bind us and the events and people that have shaped our democracy, place in the world, cultural identity and the relationship between non- Indigenous and First Nations peoples. By delving into Australia’s history, the series interrogates the past to make sense of the present and imagines an even better future.
The Idea of Australia is a Blackfella Films production for SBS. Major production investment from SBS and Screen Australia. Financed with support from Screen NSW.
