Events That Changed Australia in this powerful new factual series exploring the defining moments that shaped our nation.

This 8 part series takes an in-depth look at the critical turning points in Australia’s history, from natural disasters to social upheavals, through the lens of hindsight. Combining rich, never-before-seen archival footage with candid interviews, the series investigates not just what happened, but how these events fundamentally altered the country and its people.

The series launches with a searing examination of the Cronulla Riots. Exploring the media storm, the use of the national anthem as a war cry, and the subsequent “race reckoning” that forced Australians to question the kind of country we want to live in, Events That Changed Australia asks: How could this happen here?

Throughout the series, Events That Changed Australia will continue to explore landmark chapters in our history, including Black Saturday, the Bali Bombings, the Lindt Cafe Siege, and the impact of World Series Cricket.
