"The three-part series tackles the experience of growing up Pasifika and First Nations in a white world, but the comedic moments feel undeniably human, no matter where, when, or how you grew up. It hits hard with the jokes, but be warned! It can make you cry just as easily."

While auditioning for a prestigious institution some years ago, Papua New Guinean writer, creator and actor Wendy Mocke was asked to "go out and channel her ancestors".

As most comedians or actors would, she took that memorable moment and put it into her work — in this case, Bad Ancestors, the first Pacific-Australian comedy on Australian screens for ABC led and produced by Pasifika.

While in an audition years ago, PNG writer, creator and actor Wendy Mocke was asked to "go out and channel her ancestors". Unsurprisingly, the memorable moment makes an appearance in her new TV series, Bad Ancestors, the first Pacific-Australian comedy on Australian screens for ABC.
