Reggie then travels to Melbourne, to investigate why Australia’s second city is in the grip of a dangerous epidemic, caused by the drug known as Ice.

[edit] Black In The Outback

Travelling to Australia - one of the richest nations on earth - Reggie Yates investigates why the country’s indigenous people suffer such extreme social deprivation and inequality. A ten-hour inland drive from Sydney, Reggie heads into the outback, to an old mining town called Wilcannia, home of one of the largest Aboriginal communities in Australia with a 600 strong population, 80% of whom are indigenous. Although traditional practices still exist, Reggie finds a marginalized community suffering from an addiction to alcohol and generations of institutionalized racism. Reggie meets the younger generation, living on the fringes of society. What hope do they have of a better life than the generations before them?
