The Colony

This is different from the post-apocalyptic show from the United States. It is still a reality show, but it features living in an environment that the Aborigines had inhabited back then. Two modern families from the UK are sent to the country to see how they will fare.

Women of the Sun

This is an award-winning historical fiction miniseries which deals with real and imagined events depicting the encounters between the tribes and the Europeans between 1820 to the 1980s. It tells how the native women fight for their dignity and rights as a people through different ways.

First Australians

It is a documentary series produced in a duration of six years which first started in 2008. It chronicles the development of the country as it is today from the perspective of its ancient peoples. It relies on actual proof from both historians and the Aborigines, resulting to an effective film.
