Outback Kids

This powerful three part documentary series follows the work of the Brahminy Group, lead by Allan Brahminy, as they attempt to rehabilitate seven profoundly troubled young Aussie kids. The Brahminy Group treat a wide variety of kids at their facility deep in isolated bush in the Northern Territory. It's a place of last resort for chronic drug abusers, juvenile offenders, petrol sniffers, gang members, child prostitutes and the emotionally traumatised.
Aged between 12 and 16, the kids are a mixture of boys and girls, black and white, rich and poor; some are funded privately others by state government welfare departments. But what unites these kids is the severity of their problems: they are at the end of the line and this place, far from the toxic temptations and traumas of their usual lives, represents the kids' last chance of salvation. The Group takes its name from its founder, Allan Brahminy. In the first episode, we meet Allan Brahminy, as he tries to push 15-year-old Zach to deal with his anger issues. Staff spend days locating local lad, Lee, but there's immediate friction between him and staff member, Roscoe. 16-year-old Tim is desperate to get out and 13-year-old Derryan goes head to head with staff member, Sam. As Bronte, the first female client arrives, the episode concludes with Roscoe assaulting Lee. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)
