Freedom For Our Lifetime - The threat of extinction hovers over the

Wonga seeks land from the authorities. He soon gives up and leads his
people to the banks of the Yarra River, claiming a parcel of land,
Coranderrk. With the help of a Scottish preacher, and inspired by the
farming practices of the settlers, the community prospers - until the
authorities step in and resist self determination. (Commissioned by

First Australians: There is No Other Law

There is No Other Law - Throughout the history of white settlement,
individual white men, good and bad, have significantly affected the
first Australians. Supported by pastoralists keen to make their
fortune, the homicidal police officer Constable Willshire, brings
mayhem to the Arrernte nation in Central Australia. With the
authorities turning a blind eye, the telegraph operator Frank Gillen
stops him. Gillen's other legacy is comprehensive records of the
Arrernte people's way of life. (Commissioned by SBSi, in English) CC

Community Consultation
A significant part of the process has been consultation with the
descendents of those stories we are telling. This has been a thorough
process of;
> checking the content of scripts, usually face to face
> seeking permission to film in locations
> showing the rough cut of the film for comment
> showing the film at fine cut
As Indigenous filmmakers it has been a priority to ensure the cultural
content and the rights of Indigenous people to the respect of this
material is considered throughout. These rights are known as
Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) rights.
"When SBS first came to ask me if I were interested in doing a major
documentary series on Indigenous history I enthusiastically agreed
although I had no idea what it would be. I approached my business
partner Darren Dale, and he also readily agreed. All we knew is that
it would be bigger than anything we had done before.
In making First Australians it has been common for many to ask why
hasn't this story been told? The truth is these stories have been
told, at least in print, by the historians we feature in our series.
There is more being written all the time and there is a substantial
body of work to be found in good libraries if you have the interest.
Although First Australians cannot hope to be as comprehensive as the
work of these historians, it will provide the public (in the comfort
of their own homes), a taste of the story that remains to be
understood. Hopefully it will spark national interest in the people on
whose lands we have made our homes."

EPISODE 1 - They have come to stay | Sunday 12 October at 8:30pm
The first Australians and the British, the most powerful Empire in
history, come face to face in Sydney on January 26, 1788. Their
differences are immense but apprehension quickly turns to curiosity.
Friendships form, some between powerful men such as Governor Arthur
Phillip and the Aboriginal Bennelong. But by the time this pair leave
for London three years later, relations between the two races have
soured. The bloodshed worsens as settlers spread out across the land.

elizabeth from Abbotsford says:
Brilliant!! Very well done, and so emotive. and to stillhere - yes, it
must be compulsory teaching in schools. It really shows how courageous
Aboriginal people are. and remarkable how their strength is growing,
just when the planet and society needs their knowledge and experience.

Karen from Bass Coast Westernport says:
Hi, thanks for fantastic show. I am ashamed but so pleased to finally
here the truth about this history. Proffessor Langton is right; it is
such a shameful business, we all need to learn it... Will there be a
series on DVD? I'd like to buy it for reference.

Heather from Melbourne says:
This series has been a revelation; particularly tonight's, about
Victoria. I feel ashamed that I didn't know any of this history and
angry at our education system that 'left it out'. I found tonight's
episode very moving and kept thinking "what if???" and comparing the
genocide and destruction of Indigenous culture here to what is
happening in Tibet, which most of us deplore and yet allow to
continue. Hurray for this series. Yes, it is pretty depressing, but
important for all that.

john mancy from cheltenham 2119 says:
I just cannot understand why I was taught nothing of this at school?
Could it really have been deliberate? The school I attended in
Melbourne from 1951-59 was founded in 1851, so no excuse for that
school (Scotch College) not knowing of, for example, the Victorian
history of Barak and the missionary Green. I am much more than sorry,
I am ashamed that I did not - as a journalist - sense the cover-up of
cultural genocide.

Frank Edwards from Lower Gellibrand says:
Thank you for your very enlightening program. I am sure that your
programs should form the core of what Australian children are taught
about our country's past. The most relevant aspects of English history
will thus be shown to our young people. You deserve great
congratulations for exposing our past and hopefully encouraging our
humanitarian future. Thank you.

Jaime from Blue Mountains says:
A series that is important for all people living in Australia. It is
truly moving to see the real history finally being told. It gives us
alot to think about, and inspiration for the future.

Bruce Kidd from Wallsend NSW says:
After viewing the first three episodes of this wonderful production I
can say the depth of information shared already leaves me ashamed of
what my forebearers have done to this wonderful race of people. The
level of indignation, racism and the stupidity of so called Christian
values is bewildering.
submitted: 19 Oct 2008 21:44 AEST
Debbie from Mount Martha says:
Absolutely eye opening. It is trite to argue that just because this is
the year of the apology, that the anger should just go away. Until the
story is taught in schools, descendants of Barak have every right to
feel despair and rage. As a Year 12 English teacher I shall again
teach the novel 'Home' by Behrendt in 2009 and now shall use this SBS
series as supplementary viewing. Thankyou

sam from sydney says:
What a wonderful series! Never have I heard the true Australian story
spoken with such compassion and conviction. Finally we hear the
"other" side to the tale. I only hope that this series touches the
youth in order to ensure the future never sees such shameful action. I
am all for moving forward and leaving the past in the past - but
Australians now and in the future must know how we got here; we must
know the suffering that happened in order for us to enjoy this
beautiful country. My children are of Aboriginal blood and I thank you
for producing their heritage so honestly.

Strangely, mate, you aren't totally demented as I'd assumed. Your reply is
mostly very friendly and rational.
I used to be a white Jew but I discovered ham and it changed my life

kanga is old and cranky , not crazy or silly
there is a big difference , IMHO
I myself enjoy reading non mainstream POV ,an example from the mining
industry terminology , on open groups thats where I call the cutting
edgde , like a rock borer machine , at the cutting face its heavy
going and blunts the tools quicky , but its where all the real action
is , not for everybody, its rough and ready unpolished unsorted and
rocky , but its where you can find the real "gems" , open group
discussion at times turns up real " GEMS " amongst the barren waste
rock , if you look carefully , unpolished gems are hard to spot unless
you are searching hard you can miss them
as you probably know , its amazing what you can find and or learn
from those who have a different POV
we all knew nothing when we were born
some are happy to stay blissfully unaware
