New Australian children’s live-action series Are You Tougher Than Your Ancestors? will premiere June 15 on ABC ME.

Fun and fast paced, this series asks contemporary kids to leave their modern comforts behind and spend twenty-four hours in the life of a child from another era. As kids dive into worlds they have never experienced before, they learn as much about themselves as they do about history… and maybe even unearth new talents they never thought they had!

Drawing from Australia’s rich Indigenous and multicultural heritage, the series celebrates the diversity of our shared history. At the end of each episode we find out whether the kids were up to the task… and what they discover might just surprise us all!

Are You Tougher Than Your Ancestors? is a Flying Kite and Sticky Pictures production for the ABC, with investment from the ABC, in association with the South Australian Film Corporation and the Documentary Australia Foundation. The ACTF distributes Are You Tougher Than Your Ancestors? internationally.
