Jebediah: Are We Ok?
Jebediah: Are We Ok?
Are We OK? is the final track on Jebediah’s fifth studio album Kosciuszko (2011). Over time, the title has come to represent something larger - an unspoken question that has followed the band across three decades.
Formed in Perth in the mid-1990s, Jebediah emerged during a defining era of Australian alternative music. Their double-platinum debut album Slightly Odway launched them from suburban rehearsal rooms and Triple J airplay into national prominence, helping define a golden era of Australian music and becoming part of the soundtrack to a generation.
But Jebediah: Are We OK? is the story of four friends who grew up together and, against the odds, never grew apart.
Filmed over eleven years and drawing on more than three decades of personal archives, photographs, home videos and live performances, the documentary places past and present in conversation. The exhilaration of youth and sudden success sits alongside the quieter realities of adulthood: raising families, navigating personal challenges, balancing careers and adapting to a music industry transformed by technology and changing audience habits.
Through intimate interviews and unprecedented access, the film reveals the humour, affection and occasional tensions that underpin one of Australia's longest-running creative partnerships. Along the way, the band reflects on the moments that shaped them, the music that connected them, and the enduring friendship that carried them through life's changes.
Set against the backdrop of Australian youth culture from the 1990s to today, Jebediah: Are We OK? becomes more than the story of a beloved band. It is a celebration of friendship, creativity and the invisible work required to stay connected across a lifetime. At once nostalgic and deeply contemporary, the film captures the joy, vulnerability and resilience of growing older without growing apart.
