The Fringe DwellersMay 2, 2016

From director Bruce Beresford comes this gentle yet compelling film about the difficulties of being a person who truly belongs in no world but their own. Trilby is an Aboriginal teenager living in a shantytown with her extended family who are divided between those more assimilated to the white world, and an older generation still attuned to the mythology of their culture. Trilby persuades her mother to move into a prosperous white neighbourhood, but with the white locals expressing their distaste for the new neighbours and Trilby's relationship with boyfriend Phil resulting in an unwanted pregnancy, things are not turning out how Trilby had imagined.

The Fringe Dwellers was broadcast on SBS ONE at Friday 10 September 2021, 11:25. This episode was initially placed on Saturday 14 December 2013.
