Rachel Perkins is one of this country's great storytellers, translating distinctively Australian stories for the screen, including a new television series called The Australian Wars.
It tracks the bloody conflicts that broke out across the continent after the arrival of the British colonists.
Rachel says these are the most important wars in our history: they were fought on Australian soil, between Australians, to determine the ownership and control of the entire country.
The stories from this era are stories of violence, of peace, of epic adventures, which make up the foundational narrative of this nation.
