Curious Australia, a series of seven half-hour documentaries that explore issues relevant to contemporary Australia, will premiere tonight on SBS VICELAND and NITV.
We Exist as Sexual Beings (8.30pm)
We Are Sexual Beings investigates what it means to be young, disabled, and sexual in modern Australia.
Three daring young Australians with disabilities will reveal intimate details about their lives over the course of a 24-hour period. Oli, an aspiring tennis champion; Maya, an earnest sweetheart; and Christina, a wild-child motorhead – three remarkably different people with two things in common: life-altering spinal injuries and healthy sexual appetites.
The Black Empire (9.00pm)
In the Australian music industry, it is easy to feel isolated, but for First Nations musicians, the isolation can be overwhelming, especially when racism and exploitation are thrown into the mix.
Despite the fact that black music has played a transformative role in Australian history, from Archie Roach’s ‘Took the Children Away’ to Thelma Plum’s ‘Homecoming Queen,’ music executives still see it as just another marketable asset. But what if things were different?
What if there was hope for a better future?
