Director Jane Campion has recalled how leaving New Zealand was part of a process of reinventing herself. This episode of the series about Kiwis doing well in Australia concentrates on Campion's early career across the Tasman. Campion and actor Kerry Fox are also seen completing their breakthrough drama An Angel at My Table. Campion describes the "extraordinary insights" gained from truthfulness. She recalls Sydney's Australian Film, TV and Radio School as "outrageously conservative". Colleagues mention how the teachers had a low opinion of Campion's films, which later triumphed at the Cannes Film Festival.
