We Can Be Heroes is a comedy series in Australia that is done in mockumentary form. It follows the fictitious lives of several individuals that have been chosen as Australian of the Year, which is made out to be a pretty important award in the mockumentary. Each character that the series follows is from a different part of the country, and leads a very different way of live, from rural to urban to inspiring to struggling. Their lives and the work that they have done to achieve their recognition is told, in comedic form, for the rest of Australia to learn about.
