Redfern Now

Redfern Now is a collaboration of some of Australia's most celebrated writers, actors, directors - Wayne Blair (The Sapphires), Catriona McKenzie (Satellite Boy, My Place), Rachel Perkins (Bran Nue Dae, Mabo), Leah Purcell (Black Chicks Talking, Lantana), Deborah Mailman (Offspring, The Sapphires) - with one of the world's greatest storytellers, Emmy and BAFTA award-winner Jimmy McGovern (The Street, Cracker, The Lakes). Powerful, funny, bittersweet stories exploring extraordinary events in ordinary lives. Six families, unconnected, except that their lives are all changed by a seemingly insignificant incident, an accident or a moment's decision that spirals into a life-changing event. Six stories of contemporary inner city Indigenous life, told by the people who live it. Grace and Wesley and their family are off on the holiday of a lifetime and the taxi is waiting. Then Grace gets a call from the young son of her mentally ill sister.
