In this Insight episode, we explore what its like to be mixed race, and how it shapes identity and an understanding of the world.

We speak with Sally Gill, whose father is African-American and mother is Irish-English, Sally's father left when she was 3 years old and describes the moment as a 'loss of culture' for her. Sally's daughters, Aurie and Tess now also struggle with their identity.

Other guests include Sasha, who has African-American and Aboriginal heritage, and Jordan who grew up in the Sutherland shire with his Filipino mother and white Australian father.

Insight also speaks to Christine and Rene, who are both mixed race and have 'tri-racial' children with German, Filipino and West African heritage.

Insight airs Tuesdays at 8:30pm on SBS: http://www.sbs.com.au/news/insight​

Insight, hosted by Kumi Taguchi, is Australia's leading forum for powerful first-person stories offering a unique perspective on the way we live.

Insight first went to air in 1995 and has since been a mainstay of SBS current affairs programming. The team doesn't shy away from taboo topics: from polygamy, to brain implants, to the secrets revealed on the deathbed.
