| Summary |
Legendary journalist Ray Martin takes a group of six non Indigenous people, from different walks of life and with varied opinions, and immerses them into Aboriginal Australia for the first time. After almost three weeks immersed into Aboriginal Australia, the group is about to face their most confronting experience yet. They are taken to Roebourne Regional Prison to discover what life is like on the inside. Coming face to face with Aboriginal prisoners splits the group in two. Ray Martin arrives at the prison and the final leg of the journey begins. The destination is Fitzroy Crossing in the Kimberley - a town once ravaged by the horrors of alcohol, domestic violence and suicide. But that was before local Aboriginal women fought back to save their community. By journey's end, the group is left to reflect on their epic adventure into Aboriginal Australia. This has been their First Contact with the First Australians. (An SBS production)Follow the conversation on twitter: #firstcontactSBS |
