About We Can Be Heroes: Finding The Australian of the Year
We Can Be Heroes: Finding The Australian of the Year is a mockumentary television series that premiered in 2005. The show follows the journey of five nominees as they compete for the prestigious title of Australian of the Year. Created by comedian Chris Lilley, the series features Lilley playing all five nominees, each with their unique quirks and personalities.
The show is a hilarious and satirical take on the Australian obsession with awards and the cult of celebrity. Lilley's portrayal of the nominees is spot-on, and the show's mockumentary format adds to the humor. The series also tackles issues such as race, gender, and sexuality, making it a groundbreaking show for its time.
We Can Be Heroes received critical acclaim and won several awards, including the Logie Award for Most Outstanding Comedy Program. The show's success led to a spin-off series, Summer Heights High, which also starred Lilley.
Overall, We Can Be Heroes is a must-watch for fans of comedy and satire. Lilley's performance is nothing short of brilliant, and the show's commentary on Australian culture is both hilarious and thought-provoking.
