Australians love a good yarn, but so much of our rich history hasn’t been told or isn’t celebrated. How can we truly know ourselves if we aren’t telling the whole story?
Series One, Episode Two: Who The Bloody Hell Are We? With Cal Wilson
After 20 years living it up in Australia, comedian Cal Wilson leaps off the couch and embarks on a journey to find out how Kiwis like her fit into Australia’s national story.
It’s a quest that takes Cal from the Māori seafarers who formed one of Sydney’s first expat communities to the no-nonsense Kiwi engineer who some say unintentionally gave birth to multicultural Australia.
Along the way, she discovers that Australia has something of a blind spot when it comes to New Zealanders, tries hard not to mention the Underarm Bowling Incident, and plunges a dagger into the hearts of generations of Australian children who grew up loving Blinky Bill.
SBS Original three-part documentary Who the Bloody Hell Are We? is a playful, surprising, and revelatory series that breathes new life into the Australian story by exploring our history through the lens of some of our most intriguing multicultural communities.
oin professional provocateur John Safran, stand-up comedian Cal Wilson, and kitchen maestro Adam Liaw as they explore how people of Jewish, Kiwi, and Chinese descent, like themselves, fit into our national narrative.
Their irreverent romp through the margins and back alleys of Australian history brings cracking stories that have been overlooked, ignored, or forgotten back into the spotlight.
