Australia: An Unofficial History

Project type: Documentary Series
Project status: Release March 2025
Directors: Chris Eley, Ili Bare, Pauline Clague
Producers: Jo-anne McGowan & Rebecca Bennett
Executive Producers: Jennifer Peedom & Sarah Noonan

In this 3-part series, presented by screen icon Jacki Weaver, we crack open a forgotten vault of Australian government films that unearth a kaleidoscopic vision of Australia in the 1970s. Featuring an all-star cast of commentators including  Ben Law, Jan Fran and Zoe Coombs Marr , and behind-the-scenes insights from the people who made and featured in these revealing films like Phil Noyce, Dr Gary Foley and Jacki herself, the series offers a fun, insightful, and nostalgic exploration of a decade of political and social change when the idea of Australia was completely reimagined and the modern nation we know today came kicking and screaming into existence.

Sixteen-year-old Ali Boulala is thrust into the heart of the global skateboarding scene when he is recruited onto a professional crew in the mid-1990s. He spends a decade touring the world with his teammates and living a life without limits. His creativity on the board and his reputation for partying gains Ali the status as the most fearless and eccentric skateboarder of his generation.
Everything changes in 2007 when Ali is involved in a tragic accident. He loses his ability to skate and must fight to build up his life again. Ali now lives a quiet life in the suburbs of Stockholm. He carries scars on his body and in his psyche – constant reminders of the accident that still haunts him. One day, an opportunity opens up for Ali to face his emotional demons head-on. He must decide if he is ready to confront his past, or if some wounds can’t be healed.
