About the episode
Writer and director Tig Terera was born in Zimbabwe and raised in Australia. He's the creator of the SBS TV series Swift Street, a love letter to the multicultural inner-Melbourne community where Tig grew up. After an unusual arrival into Australia as a child - travelling in the cockpit of the aeroplane - Tig has continued to walk his own path. In this episode Tig and Suraj talk about the complications of being caught between cultures, where creative inspiration comes from, and becoming comfortable in your own skin.
