Synopsis

Journalist Santilla Chingaipe unearths Australia’s forgotten African history and reveals the role people of African ancestry played in events that shaped the nation. An act of historical truth-telling, Our African Roots challenges traditional colonial foundation narratives and reveals modern Australia’s origin story to be a complex, multicultural and multiracial affair.
