Synopsis:
Episode 2 of the series "First Australians - The Untold Story of Australia": The land grab moves south to Tasmania. In an effort to protect the real estate prices, it is decided to remove the Tasmanian Aboriginal people from the island. The government enlists an Englishmen for the job, who is helped by a young Aboriginal woman Truganini. "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.
