Shaun Micallef’s Going For Broke
Overview
Shaun Micallef has never understood the appeal of gambling, but in this new documentary series, he will place his first bet in decades and travel across the country to make sense of how Australians have become the biggest losers in the world. Over three episodes, Shaun explores Australia’s deep and complicated love affair with having a punt, and traces how a national pastime has evolved into a carefully engineered machine that keeps Australians betting – more often, and at higher stakes than ever before. By placing himself inside each experience, Shaun offers a distinctive lens on an industry that thrives in plain sight. Blending wit, empathy and sharp inquiry, this series challenges viewers to rethink what gambling has become in this country, consider who is paying the price and ultimately answer: Is Australia Going For Broke?
