S02E06 Fireworks

Title: Fireworks Plot: Celebrating Australia Day 1988, the nation gears up for a monumental television spectacle. The event includes a grand re-creation of the first fleet's arrival in Sydney Harbour, alongside ceremonies attended by Prince Charles and Princess Diana. However, the day is also marked by one of the largest protests in Australian history, as voices rise against the celebrations, highlighting the ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous communities. The juxtaposition of festivity and dissent makes for a powerful and unforgettable moment in the country's history.
