A four-part television mini-series depicting life in Australia for four adolescents from different backgrounds.

According to Moran, in his Guide to Australian TV Series, 'In Between was a realistic and absorbing attempt to depict Australia as a multicultural country. The four central figures were "in between" two cultures. In Between also highlighted the fact that many of ethnic background--like Fatima, Saret and Alex--were also very much at the lower end of the socioeconomic scale'.
