A landmark, three-part documentary series which tells the story of how modern, multicultural Australia was built against the odds, Immigration Nation – The Secret History of Us, starts on Sunday, January 9, at 8.30pm on SBS One.
At Federation in 1901, Australia stands as a beacon to the world – a new nation with a Utopian vision, to become the most progressive and egalitarian nation in the world.
Yet at the heart of this plan lies a dark paradox – the belief that to build a country with such noble ideals you must be a country that is exclusively white.
Immigration Nation: The Secret History of Us, will explore Australia’s untold immigration story; a century long struggle to overcome the White Australia Policy that resulted in one of the world’s most multicultural nations.
