'DARK EMU is a phenomenon. The book has sold more than a quarter of a million copies, received multiple awards and is one of the best-selling books of its kind. As questions arose over the merits of the contents of the book, old questions re-surfaced about the authenticity of the author Bruce Pascoe. In this feature documentary, we will delve into this search for identity, and in so doing spark yet more conversations about where we might be heading as a nation. The documentary will also be a platform for First Nations people to tell their own stories about their deep past. How new discoveries are shedding light on who their ancestors were and how they survived and prospered for at least 65,000 years on the most arid continent on earth.'

'Depending on who you ask, the infamous 1993 death in custody of Aboriginal teenager Daniel Yock is either a tragic incident or unfinished business.

On a spring afternoon in Brisbane's Musgrave Park, the 18-year-old traditional dancer and amateur boxer is drinking with his mates.

But when a police van arrives, the mood suddenly changes, triggering a dramatic chain of events.

Presented by Walkley Award-winning investigative journalist Allan Clarke, Thin Black Line is a deep dive into what happened that day — according to the one eyewitness who saw it all unfold, speaking publicly for the first time in almost three decades.

His still-grieving family believe that not only could Daniel's death have been prevented, but that he shouldn't have been arrested in the first place.'

'Wrong Skin presents a tragic story of forbidden love and plays out amongst the sweeping red dirt and ghostly saltbush trees of remote New South Wales. Wrong Skin delves into an intricate world of Aboriginal kinship, gripped violently with the constraints of religion and controlled by dark malevolent spirits. Based on the ancient Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex, and fused with Aboriginal culture and history, Wrong Skin will plunge you into a haunting and evocative place, dripping with a history buried deep beneath sinister shadows.'
