HUBERT WILKINS DOCUMENTARY

We are working with Peter Firzimons and the ABC to develop a documentary special that explores the under-told and undersold story of Sir Hubert Wilkins, one of Australia’s most extraordinary explorers.

An enigmatic man of many disciplines, his story is often lost amongst the well-established polar explorers such as Mawson or Shackleton – but his contribution to polar exploration is no less significant and even more sensational.

Wilkins is one of the most remarkable Australians who ever lived: a film producer, polar explorer; brilliant war photographer and even spy in the Soviet Union, Wilkins was a pioneering aviator-navigator and death-defying submariner ….

It’s time to share his history-making adventures with new audiences
