My Place in Arabic
Multi award winning series My Place has been sold to Al Jazeera Children’s Channel. Concluded by international distributor, the Australian Children’s Television Foundation, the deal sees Al Jazeera Children’s Channel picking up worldwide Arabic language rights to My Place Series 1 & 2.

Spanning over 200 years of Australia’s multi-cultural history, each episode of My Place continues to go back in time at 10 year intervals beginning in 2008 to before European settlement.
