Filmed over 40 years ago, this clip from docuseries The Migrant Experience delves into the experiences of migrants and refugees in Australia, and the lives of their children.

A unifying thread can be found in this clip from the episode 'Something Old, Something New', where the interview subjects allude to feelings of isolation, cultural clashes with their own parents and a keen awareness of difference. Viewers can glean how migration transforms identity and generational relationships, influencing feelings about the food people eat to how they perceive their friends and family. Capturing both their struggles and community of multicultural society, the conversations reveal the changing face of Australia in the late 20th Century.

Commissioned by the Film Australia Corporation, 6-part series The Migrant Experience presents a comprehensive history of the role of migration in the development of Australia's national identity over the course of 200 years.
