Synopsis

Australia prides itself on being a diverse, multicultural nation. But is this really the land of the fair go? Mark Coles Smith leads the first investigation of its kind in Australia analysing previous Prime Ministers’ paths to our country’s highest office and finding out what chance an Indigenous Australian born today has of one day becoming the leader of our nation. Along the way we discover the educational, economic and social barriers standing in the way of a potential Indigenous candidate and meet inspiring individuals who are already on the path or helping others to close the gap. Confronting, fascinating and provocative, Will Australia Ever Have a Black Prime Minister? is agenda-setting TV with the ability to provoke a national discussion.

Filmed and Post Produced in Western Australia on the Traditional Country of the Yamatji Badimia, Yamatji Nanda & Noongar Whadjuk peoples
