The journey of Australia?s first covert special force - Z Special Unit

This series uncovers a dramatic forgotten episode of Australias Second World War involvement. Combining penetrating big-picture history of the Pacific war with gripping personal narrative, it charts the journey of Z Special, a covert jungle warfare unit and forerunner of todays special force units. The most multi-cultural unit in the Australian army, their history represents a fulcrum point for race relations in Australia. At a time when the White Australia policy prevailed and the nation was gripped with fear about the Japanese yellow peril, in Z Special Unit Asian Australians, white Australians, Malays, Chinese, Filipinos, and Timorese all trained and fought side by side. Over three episodes, the series interweaves the story of Z Specials historic missions with a contemporary narrative bringing to life the Z mens tactics, fighting skills and war craft by recreating their jungle training regime in the present day and putting the Z mens own descendants through it. The series culminates in an emotional expedition to Borneo, scene of one of Z Specials most celebrated and arduous campaigns.
