Series 1

In this new 3 part series, revered critic David Stratton tells the glorious story of Australian cinema, focusing on the films that capture the nation's true nature with candour, emotion & humour.

Part 2 celebrates the outsiders of Australian cinema: be it newcomers in They're A Weird Mob & Wake In Fright or locals out of step with the mainstream in Evil Angels, Muriel's Wedding & Priscilla.

Part 3 is about families: The Castle's nuclear family; family of faith in The Devil's Playground; Romper Stomper's neo-Nazis; immigrants in Head On & crime families from Ned Kelly to Animal Kingdom.
