Set in the Victorian goldfields of the 1850s, New Gold Mountain breaks new ground in its dramatic rendition of the power dynamics, racism and violence of this time and place, as seen from the perspective of Chinese migrant miners. Considering the SBS series in the context of the western genre it seeks to emulate and the Australian history it attempts to do justice to, Tahney Fosdike finds the show more willing to confront some myths than others.
Cousins, a new release from New Zealand, has its heart in its throat, harmonising a driftless protagonist with the enduring love of her whanau (Māori for extended family).
