After eighteen years in the political wilderness, Pauline Hanson is back and more powerful than ever. Please Explain is a compelling, intimate look at how an Ipswich fish and chip shop lady changed the nation - and how she speaks directly to Australian society and our multicultural identity today.
Anna Broinowski fell into filmmaking by accident - when she and her brother uncovered Japan's queer, Yakuza and Otaku subcultures in the cult hit Hell Bento!! She's directed ever since. Her latest documentary, Aim High in Creation!, sold to Netflix and cornered a niche market- the DIY North Korean propaganda film workshop. Other films are Forbidden Lie$, Helen's War, Romancing the Chakra and Sexing the Label. They've won stuff, including three AFIs, the Rome Film Festival 'Cult' Prize, a Walkley, the Al Jazeera Golden Award, a Russian Film Critics prize, the NSW Premier's Literary Award and the Writer's Guild of America Best Nonfiction Screenplay. Before filmmaking, Anna was an actor and rock violinist. She toured her bilingual play The Gap to Tokyo, failed law and wrote for many arty 1990s magazines. Born in Japan and raised in the Philippines, Burma, Canberra and Iran, Anna now lives in Sydney with her eleven-year-old daughter, a wise Glaswegian and a three-legged cat called Tripod.
