Synopsis: 2018 1st episode "Arrival." 60mins

Kane and his friend Six rescue Blake Farron, leader of far-right group Patriot Blue, when he comes under attack from an anti-fascist group while protesting at a halal festival in St Kilda. A woman at the festival, Laila Taheer, risks being targeted when she speaks out against Farron on the TV news. A grateful Blake takes the boys under his wing, offering them jobs as truck drivers for his recycling business. Kane begins an affair with Blake's wife, Zoe, and bashes her former partner who pimped her out for drug money before she met Blake. Kane's sister, Cindi, escapes with two friends from a juvenile detention centre. Kane later approaches his mother, Gabe Jordan, saying he knows who his father is.

Romper Stomper 1992

Synopsis: 1992 feature film. "15min excerpt"

Nazi skinheads in Melbourne take out their anger on local Vietnamese, who are seen as threatening racial purity. Finally the Vietnamese have had enough and confront the skinheads in an all-out confrontation, sending the skinheads running. A woman who is prone to epileptic seizures joins the skins' merry band, and helps them on their run from justice, but is her affliction also a sign of impurity?
