Congratulations to Rachel Perkins on the release of THE AUSTRALIAN WARS

A huge congratulations to Rachel Perkins on the release of THE AUSTRALIAN WARS. Rachel directed, created, and co-produced this landmark 3-part documentary series, which saw her journey across the country to explore the bloody battles fought on Australian soil and the war that established the Australian nation, seeking to change the narrative of the nation.

It is a polemic documentary series that tells the extraordinary story of Australia's First Wars - and calls for the First Peoples who died in these conflicts to be acknowledged by the nation and officially recognised by the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. The series investigates the frontier conflicts between 1788 and 1928 and their impact, and asks Australians who we are, and what we want to become.

Further information can be found in this recent Sydney Morning Herald article, and the trailer here.

The series will stream on SBS and NITV, this Wednesday 21 September 2022, 7.30pm, and then on SBS OnDemand.
