This week, Insight films in a pub in Shepparton, to discuss real issues facing regional Australia.

Shepparton, in rural Victoria, is one of many Australian communities at a crossroads.

Since the Second World War, waves of immigrants and refugees have arrived in the Goulburn Valley region to seize upon the opportunities and build a new life.

But recent events have brought both challenges and new prospects for residents.

High youth unemployment, drug use, school retention rates, teen pregnancies, and poverty are just some of the issues concerning Shepparton locals.

Filmed in the pub at the Goulburn Valley Hotel, Insight meets the people who are beating the statistics.

Young people, employers, industry leaders, federal and local members come together in a town hall style discussion to tackle the big issues head on.

Tuesday at 8.30pm on SBS ONE.
