One of Us! is an eight part, thirty minute black comedy about a historically unscrupulous family who decide their only way to survive is a government contract to accommodate a series of refugee families in their backwater motel/petrol station.
Set in a world where an alternative to offshore detention is under trial by a new Australian government, the tiny township/petrol station/motel of Ferris Creek will be one of the first to participate in the controversial experiment. Amongst a menagerie of outrageous motel guests, two families seeking asylum will be offered a new life in Australia’s shittiest town.
“It will never work, they don’t know how to use white goods...”
