In this film, Australia's oldest bank Westpac, captures the country's spirit of mateship by bringing to life moments of help from the past. We see Australians helping each other throughout two hundred years of national history, in moments big and small. One scene takes place during the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, as worker pulls his mate out of the way of a falling beam. In another key scene a rescue helicopter, sponsored by Westpac bank, saves a young man from treacherous floodwaters. All of the scenes combine to give a moving portrait of the Australian national character, through a lens that celebrates both the past and the present. The film is scored with a cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes”, as performed by Australian band, Gang of Youths.
