SBS VICELAND presents Take Me There, an original short-form documentary series telling young Australians stories
Wednesday, 2 August
Each is a story about a pivotal moment of change in a young person’s life.
With characters that mirror the diversity of the Australian population, each is a raw snapshot of reality: an invaluable confessional; an insight into real, unscripted experiences about mental health, disability, sexuality, music, youth issues, and domestic violence.
Creating connections between people and place, each short-form documentary explores the diverse Australia we live in, and the vibrant people who make it.
The first four Take Me There stories take place New South Wales, with stories from other parts of Australia to come. They will roll out from today, Wednesday 2 August, on facebook.com/sbsviceland/videos, and will appear on channel between programs from next week.
