SBS documentary Our African Roots has been awarded at the 2022 Diversify TV Awards at MIPCOM in Cannes.
The awards honour excellence in diversity and inclusion in scripted and reality-TV programming worldwide.
The 2021 documentary by Chemical Media is an exploration and an insight into Australia’s lost African history.
Presenter and producer, Santilla Chingaipe previously said, “For me, the mission is personal. If Australia continues to erase the stories of people of colour, does it mean the contributions of contemporary African Australians like me are also in danger of being dismissed or forgotten? It’s time we started telling the truth about the history of colonised Australia. These aren’t African-Australian stories; these are Australian stories – and we should know the names of these men and women.”
