Six films, one unmissable collection. First Facts documentaries debut on 10 Streaming 27 May 2026
A angu Way
Network 10 and Screen Australia today debut First Facts: First Nations Factual Showcase collection on 10 Streaming.
The six short documentaries by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander filmmakers spanning Country, culture and generation, are supported by Screen Australia's First Nations Department through a competitive pitch process for development and production funding.
The collection includes Re-imagining Our Futures: birthing, A angu Way, Ornmol, Life After Footy, Firekeepers Flames of Renewal: Fighting for Cultural Survival and Burabura.
Yeesum Lo, VP Content Business Affairs & Strategy, Paramount Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), said, These films are bold, intimate and deeply resonant - exactly the kind of stories Australian audiences need to see more of. We're proud to bring them to 10 Streaming.
Screen Australia Head of First Nations Content Gillian Moody-Ardler said, The First Facts documentaries celebrate the richness of First Nations culture and exciting voices of Indigenous storytellers.
Our collaboration with Network 10 provides audiences across the country the opportunity to engage with stories presenting a unique intersection of contemporary life and multifaceted traditional practices reflective of the ongoing connections to people and place across Country.
The First Facts: First Nations Factual Showcase received funding support from Screen NSW and Screenwest.
About the First Facts: First Nations Factual Showcase documentaries:
In Re-imagining Our Futures: birthing, we meet Nyikina and Jabirr Jabirr woman, Kalinda (Gal) Palmer, who is a gentle but fierce young mother. As an Aboriginal woman, she has experienced the ways in which western medical systems have let her down and she dreams of returning to traditional birthing practices. Inspired by yarns with her elders, Gal dreams of a future where she, her family and community have sovereignty over birthing ceremony and tradition. A future where she can bring new life into the world on Country in a way that she has always imagined. Re-imagining Our Futures: birthing is a Kirri Media production with Kimberley Benjamin, Shari Hutchison and Kalinda Palmer.
A angu Way follows Keenan Stevens, a Noongar and Spinifex father of three, as he drives ten hours from Perth to Cundeelee - his father's Country - for the first time in almost 30 years. Keenan hopes to rebuild his relationship with his dad, Lydon, and learn more about his culture. As they journey together on Country, Lydon shares stories from the past that Keenan has never heard and as father teaches son how to make a miru (woomera), Keenan reconnects with his history and the A angu way of life. A angu Way is a Goguljar Yok production with Tace Stevens and Brooke Collard.
Ornmol is set in the Kimberley region in northwestern Australia, where a small community school ends each day with the Joonba ritual, in which all the children dance. This connection to their culture and Country helps the young people to develop a deep trust in themselves and their surroundings. Ornmol follows the children of Kupungarri as they collect ochre and prepare to dance at one of the biggest cultural events of the year, the Mowanjum Festival. Ornmol is a Regen Studios production with Marlikka Perdrisat, Jayde Harding, Anna Kaplan and Damon Gameau.
From the mountain peak of professional Australian sport to the reality of life after, Life After Footy follows Indigenous dual premiership AFL player Lewis Jetta on what it's like to ride the wave of professional sport and continue living life the best way he can. Life After Footy is a Ramu Productions and Ardiol Creative production with Daniel Riches, Luke Riches, Jodie Bell and Devina McPherson.
Firekeepers Flames of Renewal: Fighting for Cultural Survival is set against the backdrop of increasing bushfires and climate change, and follows a First Nations community embarking on a journey to restore traditional cultural burning practices, preserve their ancestral knowledge and protect their land. Firekeepers Flames of Renewal: Fighting for Cultural Survival is a Garuwa production with Jack Steele, Kieran Satour, Genevieve Grieves and Ramona Telecican.
Burabura is a love letter to the Australian bush that captures the essence of its beauty and serenity in every frame, reminding us that sometimes, the greatest adventures are the ones that take us back to our roots. Burabura is a WS Media production with Tyson Mowarin and Robyn Marais.
First Facts: First Nations Factual Showcase is now available to stream on 10.
