Redfern Now Season 1

Grace (Leah Purcell) and Wesley (Alec Doomadgee) haven't had a decent holiday in years. Now they're off on the holiday of a lifetime with their two children, and the taxi is waiting.

In her mid fifties, Coral (Tessa Rose), works in a food van, which sometimes brings her into contact with victims of abuse, leading her to the mistaken conclusion that her daughter's bruised face is the result of more than just an accident.

Raymond (Kelton Pell) and Lorraine (Deborah Mailman) have it pretty sweet: a house, four kids, Raymond has been nominated for an award for his services to the community, and he's up for a promotion at work.

Sixteen-year-old Joel Tait (Aaron McGrath) has just won an Indigenous scholarship to Clifton College - one of Sydney's most elite private schools. It's his first day, and at assembly Joel's teacher notices he isn't singing the national anthem. At home that night Joel is busy learning the words so he can join in, but his father Eddie (Marley Sharp) doesn't want his son to sing the anthem.... or stand for it.

Indigo (Dean Daley-Jones) is a professional boxer, so he knows how to land the perfect punch; find the sweet spot. It's why he's good in the ring, and it's why he's just served a six-year sentence for killing a man in a street fight.

Aaron Davis (Wayne Blair) is a proud Indigenous policeman: proud of the community in which he works, and very proud of his daughter Robyn (Rarriwuy Hick) and his three-year-old granddaughter Donna.
