Synopsis:
Episode 1 of the series "First Australians - The Untold Story of Australia": The first Australians and the British, the most powerful Empire in history, come face to face in Sydney on January 26, 1788. Their differences are immense but apprehension quickly turns to curiosity. Friendships form, some between powerful men such as Governor Arthur Phillip and the Aboriginal Bennelong. But by the time this pair leave for London three years later, relations between the two races have soured. The bloodshed worsens as settlers spread out across the land. "First Australians" chronicles the birth of contemporary Australia as never told before, from the perspective of its first people. "First Australians" explores what unfolds when the oldest living culture in the world is overrun by the world’s greatest empire. Over seven episodes, "First Australians" depicts the true stories of individuals - both black and white - caught in an epic drama of friendship, revenge, loss and victory in Australia’s most transformative period of history. The story begins in 1788 in Sydney, with the friendship between an Englishman (Governor Phillip) and a warrior (Bennelong), and ends in 1993 with Koiki Mabo’s legal challenge to the foundation of Australia. "First Australians" chronicles the collision of two worlds and the genesis of a new nation.
