Celebrating NAIDOC Week 2025: Streaming Stories of Strength, Legacy and Laughter
As we step into NAIDOC Week 2025, it's more than just a time to reflect—it's a powerful opportunity to celebrate First Nations excellence and storytelling that continues to shape the heart and spirit of Australia. Wherever you are in the world, there are brilliant Indigenous Australian shows available to stream that capture culture, resilience, humour, and history in ways that will leave you inspired, informed, and moved.
Let’s start with a series that guarantees laughs and community spirit: That Blackfella Show . Hosted by legends Ernie Dingo, Bridget Brennan, and Isaac Compton, it’s 60 minutes of music, sketch comedy and candid yarns featuring favourite Blackfellas. It’s cheeky, fun and proudly unapologetic—perfect for starting your NAIDOC Week on a joyful note.
Then there’s WINHANGANHA , a meditative and moving journey by Wiradjuri artist Jazz Money. This film reimagines Australia’s audiovisual archives through the lens of Indigenous performance, protest, and poetry. It’s not just a watch, it’s an experience that reclaims and recentres memory and legacy.

Journalist Dan Bourchier shares intimate conversations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, offering insight into culture, history and future hopes. It’s a reminder that knowledge keepers are the roots from which strength grows.
Explore the land like never before with Many Lands, Many Seasons , a series that unveils how six different Aboriginal seasonal calendars guide sustainable living—hunting, fishing and gathering bush tucker. It's a beautiful way to see Country through the eyes of First Nations communities.
Craving a laugh with a punch of social commentary? 8MMM brings the hilarious and unfiltered reality of a remote Indigenous radio station in Alice Springs. It’s irreverent, smart and brilliantly honest about community, culture and the everyday quirks of life in the desert.
And finally, if drama is what pulls you in, Redfern Now is unmissable. Each episode focuses on a life-changing decision made in the urban heart of Indigenous Australia—Redfern. It’s raw, powerful, and deeply human storytelling that lingers long after the credits roll.
This year’s NAIDOC theme, The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy , is echoed across these stories. They celebrate the trailblazers, reflect on the past, and push forward with pride and passion. And it’s not just on screen where excellence is being recognised.
At the 2025 National NAIDOC Awards in Perth, Dr Daniel Hunt, a Jaru and Indjibarndi man, was named NAIDOC Person of the Year for his extraordinary contributions to Aboriginal health. AFL icon Michael Long received the Lifetime Achievement Award, and strong voices like Rosalie Kickett and Anika Gosling were honoured for their life-changing work in mental health and community wellbeing. These aren’t just awards—they're a recognition of legacy built with care, courage, and conviction.
So whether you’re watching from your lounge room, on your phone, or sharing stories with family—this NAIDOC Week is your time to listen, learn, and honour the vibrant voices of First Nations people. Let these shows and stories light up your week with strength, laughter, and truth.
