Bordertown is a 1995 Australian TV
albino Italian migrant.[2]
Reception
The series was somewhat controversial for its depiction of life in the migrant camps, and its ratings were not high.[1] Commenting on the 2002 video release, Video Store magazine noted the "inconsistent tone" of the episodes but thought that ultimately, the viewer would become "accustomed to, and fond of, these characters and their microcosm in the middle of nowhere".[3] DVD Talk noted the series' "original setting and generally solid acting" but found the show only "mildly interesting".[2]
The miniseries received the AWGIE Award for Mini-Series Original in 1996.[4]
