Commenting on her episode, Lisa Wilkinson said;
“This experience makes me feel more settled, makes me see more clearly who I am. I’m so glad I got to know my ancestors. For those that did it really tough. I look at their lives and think I don’t think I would have coped.
I’ve also realised how lucky I am, I found my place when it comes to family and I feel incredibly grateful for that because not everybody finds that.”
As these renowned Australians travel around the world to explore their family trees and delve back centuries into their ancestry. Through these journeys, a rare insight into their lives behind the cameras emerge.
The emotional and personal stories in Who Do You Think You Are? reveal a bigger picture of Australia’s diverse national identity.
