My Country: Australia
My Country: Australia
Genre: Documentary

When it comes to understanding a country, there is nothing like an insider’s view. A nation’s character – its fears, hopes and obsessions – are all reflected in the way a country reports itself to its own people.

Recently the series has travelled to Afghanistan, Italy and South Africa. In April BBC World News will be showcasing four new films about Australia, by Australian directors.

South Africa: My Country on BBC World News taps into this rich vein by showcasing documentaries made by local film-makers about their own patch. No one film can ever give a complete picture of a country but we hope that they’ll all offer a fresh, revealing and surprising perspective on the nation concerned. This month we are travelling to South Africa. This series will include South African made documentaries on domestic social issues, politics, and current affairs as well as observational documentaries.
