When faced with the past, can we recognize ourselves and connect with our heritage?
When faced with the past, can these characters recognize themselves and connect with their heritage? In the first film, a girl time travels to make an impactful family connection. In another film based on a true story, a seemingly mild-mannered father has an extraordinary story to tell his daughter.

ARE YOU TOUGHER THAN YOUR ANCESTORS? CAMELEERS - THE ORIGINAL GHAN TRAINS (Short Film)
Synopsis: "Are You Tougher than Your Ancestors?" is a fun and immersive living history series that pits the skills of today’s kids against the adventures of children from Australia’s past, to find out how they measure up! Fun and fast-paced, we challenge modern kids to walk in the shoes of a child from another era. Diving into new worlds, they learn as much about themselves as they do about history… and unearth some unexpected skills in the process! In episode 5, Ezekiel and Nathaniel guide a camel train through Australia’s harsh desert country following the route taken in the early 1900s by teenage Afghan Aboriginal cameleer, William Satour.
