Summary To the vast majority of Australians, Aboriginal Australia is invisible. Out of sight. Out of mind. More than six out of ten who call this country home have had ‘little or no’ contact with Aboriginal people. Four out of ten don’t want any contact. The chasm and disconnect between the First Australians and the rest of the nation is vast. First Contact is a 3 x 52 min constructed documentary series that takes a group of six ordinary people and immerses them into Aboriginal Australia. Through a journey of conflict and discovery, light is shone on a hidden and divided nation. Stereotypes are smashed. Lives are changed.
