About Ten Pound Poms
In 1956, British citizens respond to an Australian migration scheme promising a better life and good employment prospects for a mere £10. For Annie and Terry Roberts, and their two children, a move to Australia offers a way for Terry to escape the scars of his service during WWII. In contrast, Kate arrives as a young nurse and claims to have migrated on her own due to her fiancé not wanting to make the move, but the real truth behind her journey is something else entirely.
