Fat Chance
Fat Chance follows Yuka
Sekiguchi, an engaging, funny,
fat film director who becomes
the subject of a downsizing
experiment. It is a personal
odyssey which sets out to prove that despite the
enormous media pressures to be perfect, mind
can triumph over matter. Our body image is
important to us. For Yuka, her size has become
an obsession. An Australian film maker who was born in Japan, Yuka felt
at home here – Australian people were tolerant of all shapes and sizes.
Yuka adopted the Australian way of life very well and as a result, she has
put on more and more weight. Fat Chance is an honest and confronting
description of Yuka’s progress over a six month period as she attempts to
win her battle to become trim, taut and terrific.

reasonable work/life balance? Are our lives now
so complex and fast-paced that we need to pay
experts to tell us how live? The Lifestyle Assistant:
Two households seek to relieve the constant
pressure of juggling work and family life by engaging a Lifestyle Assistant,
Sharon Runciman. Sharon focuses on rearranging and de-cluttering both
families and the way they live day to day. This includes organising the

family’s’ life. In an increasingly busy world, Sharon’s promise is to give her
clients back the space to enjoy family time and life. The Life Coach: Two
very different women employ the services of Poppy Pavlides, a Life Coach.
Over an intense three month period Poppy takes her clients on a journey of
self discovery as they attempt to reshape their lives for the better. As both
clients start to set their own individual goals and then go about achieving
them, Poppy cracks the whip and ensures there is no backsliding.

The Choice
Abortion has been available in
Australia since the early 1970s
and several generations of
women have freely accessed
abortion in that time. And yet
it seems that talking openly about it remains one
of the last taboos. The program attempts to break
through that barrier and, in doing so, contribute to
the ongoing debate that continues to surround this
highly contentious issue. Director, Don Parham has built the narrative of
The Choice around six stories with people from diverse backgrounds.

and the work she undertakes with India’s most
reviled and outcast people. Primarily, the film
delves into Maggie’s chequered past, examines
what motivates her and what drives her to do
this confronting work; secondly it takes a physical journey with Maggie
through the most inaccessible and marginalised areas of India. The
physical and emotional journeys are inextricably entwined. As the film
unfolds it becomes clear that through helping others Maggie has been able
to emotionally transform her own tumultuous life and discover a true sense
of self-worth.
