About this movie

On a sweltering Australia Day in Brisbane, the worlds of three young people collide. Indigenous teen April, young Chinese woman Lan, and Sami - an Iranian-Australian teen - are desperate and on the run. As each of their stories unfold, farmer (Bryan Brown), Indigenous policewoman (Shari Sebbens) and homicide detective (Matthew Le Nevez) are also swept into a whirlpool of violence, racism and resentment. Provocative and illuminating, Australia Day offers a fascinating take on national identity and the cultural tension that lurks beneath the surface of modern Australian society.

Ratings and reviews

Its not factual and paint all other culture bar these 3 as horrible people. Its not the view of many but for some Pethetic watch imo

Baffled as to why it's named "australia day" ? However this is a very true representation on what goes on here in brisbane. My husband's family are all aboriginal police officers and I have a history in law enforcement. And we are very active in the community. All 3 of these stories are more common than the average Australian realises

Must see, very humane, hard to watch at times but hits some nerves about current Australian issues
