Welcome to Country (in development)

Welcome to Country follows six First Nations public figures as they welcome our audience to their country.

Welcome to Country is currently in development, supported by Screen New South Wales, and builds on earlier development with NITV.

Welcome to Country is a premium six-part documentary series that invites audiences onto Country through the lives of prominent First Nations people. Each episode offers an intimate insight into identity, exploring how Country has shaped who these individuals are and what they have achieved.

Travelling through their ancestral lands, participants share lived experience while learning alongside the audience. Guided by Elders and community members, they deepen their understanding of place, culture, and responsibility, creating a shared journey of learning.

Each episode is structured around four interconnected pillars - flora, fauna, geography, and people - grounding the series in Indigenous knowledge while deepening our understanding of the natural world and how Country has shaped the lives and identities of its presenters.
