Go Back goes global

Award-winning SBS series Go Back To Where You Came From will have its first international adaptation on Danish station TV2 this week.

Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder CEO Nick Murray said: “While the accolades are always celebrated and appreciated, knowing Australian ideas are then experienced by viewers around the globe is especially rewarding. Clearly the refugee crisis is a global one and the Go Back format allows the story to be told from a local perspective.

Other local versions are due to appear in the USA, Germany, France, Norway, Netherlands, Sweden, South Africa and Canada.

The Danish version, which is called Send Dem Hjem (Send Them Home), was filmed over 25 days travelling through Kabul, western parts of Afghanistan, Turkey and Greece with the participants and crew ending up in Danish immigrations camps.

Lie the original version, the territories were extremely dangerous, with the crew and participants witnessing shocking and confronting human suffering.

SBS is yet to confirm a third season, with CJZ currently developing how another series would shape up.
