        | Synopsis | A look at Grame Turner's book 'Making it National' and his ideas of the hybrid model of nationalism. 
 
 
 Among other things, Turner points out the contribution Australian film-makers in particular dark realist film-makers have made to the changing face of Australia and how their challenging portrayals put forward a different image of Australia.
 
 
 
 "It's not a hybrid that absorbs different bits into something mainstream.  It's a hybrid in which different elements co-exist and illuminate each other by the very fact of their differences being brought intimately together."
