THE REPUBLIC OF VIRTUE [VIDEORECORDING]. 


Writer and presenter, Robert Hughes. 

Historian and art critic, Robert Hughes traces the development of America 

through art and architecture. Part One: This program looks at the birth of

America and the emergence of the revolutionary vision of George Washington and 

Thomas Jefferson, which shaped the attitudes and architecture of the new 

republic. The classicism of Greece and Rome was adopted for monumental public 

architecture such as the Capitol Building and the Lincoln Memorial and the 

Southern Plantation Houses. The work of Benjamin West, John Singleton Copley, 

Charles Wilson Peel and Thomas Cole represent the time.

carve out an identity in the new land; Spaniards in the south west, Pilgrims in 

the north east, Cavaliers in Virginia. These influences are seen in frontier

of Quaker artist Edward Hicks. Spanish and native American culture is seen in

the Brooklyn Bridge symbolise the new age with the spirit of the age expressed 

through engineering, science, photography and realism. Artists representing this 

period include: Mathew Brady, Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, John Singer Sargent 

and James Whistler.

of immigration on the culture of New York. He observes the icons of the Statue 

of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge, and the styles of the 'Ash Can School', 

modernism, precisionism and abstractionism. Hughes looks at the work of George

Public art, which promoted the worker as hero is seen in the Hoover Dam and the

The work of each of the artists in this film has an explicit political 

dimension. The monumental paintings of Leon Golub (USA) portray scenes of 

contemporary violence and torture. The work of Hans Haacke (USA) is an 

investigation of power structures within and beyond the art world. Pete Dunn and 

Loraine Leeson (UK) work with the local community in London's Docklands. Victor 

Burgin (UK) sees his activities as a writer and teacher as an extension of his 

practice as an artist. And the painter Terry Atkinson explores the themes of

GASCOIGNE COUNTRY [VIDEORECORDING] / DIRECTOR/PRODUCER, JAYA BALENDRA. 

Off-air recording of the ABC-TV program broadcast 25/01/01. Copied under Part 5A 

of the Copyright Act 1968. 

Colour recording system: PAL ; Region 0. 

Writer/narrator, Justin Murphy. 

A documentary about the artist, Rosalie Gascoigne. Living at Mt Stromlo with her 

astronomer husband, Ben, and three young children in the 1940s and 1950s, 

Gascoigne felt a gnawing "visual hunger". So she collected things that were 

interesting to look at: mistletoe, bits of old wire and tin, rusting enamel 

kitchen equipment, soft-drink crates, old dolls, arranging them painstakingly 

but flinching from describing herself as an artist. By the '70s, however, others 

were labelling her an artist, and an important one. People saw that her 

carefully wrought masses of boxes, road signs and feathers were more than the 

sum of their parts: they were, in fact, Australian landscapes. This film makes 

this abundantly clear with images of the Monaro countryside that surrounded 

Gascoigne from 1943 until her death in 1999, backed up with interviews with the 

artist, her husband, her son Martin and others who knew her well.

Warning. 

Editor, Jane Greenwood. 

Written and presented by Tom Dyckhoff. 

A survey of the post-war concrete architectural structures, dotting the British

urban landscape. Tom Dyckhoff tours a selection of such post-war concrete 

buildings, both inside and out, for a close look, in order to understand what it 

is about them which most people loathe and yet some find likeable. Prince 

Charles, one of those who loathe them, terms them 'carbuncles'. They are often 

called 'brutalist' buildings, a derisive-sounding term, of French origin. Hardly 

anyone can ignore them because they are massive and stand out. Today, they are 

depressing relics of a failed, welfare state. 

In the 1950s and 1960s, they were bright and fun, built to give post-war Britain 

a high-tech kick-up look. The post-war rebuilding movement had a vision of 

cities in the sky, where people would live, shop, enjoy leisure activites and 

communal facilities. Concrete was the new wonder-material, which planners and 

politicians liked because it was cheap and quick. Architects revelled in its 

rough, raw texture, using it to create sculptural, flowing shapes. The leading 

brutalist architects, such as Alison and Peter Smithson, shared the mission of 

wanting people to experience space in a new way. These buildings were also 

supposed to encourage a new kind of warmer, less formal and class-bound 

socialising. Something went wrong and it did not happened that way. Instead, 

many people recoiled from the new architecture. Includes interviews with 

architects and the British public for comments on this type of architecture.

acts. This episode features Francis Plagne, a young musician from Melbourne. 

Critics describe his music as 'free-form', and in it he has demonstrated his 

musical knowledge and maturity beyond his teen years. In his first album, Idle 

bones, Plagne has assembled an unusual, dreamlike mixture of pop fragments 

interspersed with electronics, improvisations and clunky percussive/mechanical 

interludes. 'Idle bones' is a three-part narrative with mythic song chapters, 

such as Idle Bones / Sinking Ships and The Ballad of the Boars. Presents

Directed by Abigail Hedderwick (1,3,5), Howard Hill (4,6) ; research, Sarah 

Weatherall, Kate McKerrell ; series editor, Jason Wright. 

Narrator: Leslie Felperin. 

This six-part documentary examines the way music has become an integral part of 

movie-making. It has become a powerful tool for directors to instantly create an 

emotional shift in moods amongst the audience. Looks at specific movie genres, 

illustrating points discussed with excerpts from selected films, archival clips 

and footage. Includes interviews with prominent directors, their composers and 

stars. 

Episode one, Love, looks at how music is used in film to express love, to bring 

out the tragic in it, and give a hint of sad endings. Includes selected scenes 

from films like, Romeo & Juliet, Titanic, and Emma. Episode two, Suspense, 

explores how music is used in film to create suspense. Episode three, 'Heroics', 

analyses how and why heroes, like James Bond and Superman, are frequently 

preceded on screen by the sound of their own theme tune. Compares and contrasts 

scores for fictional heroic characters like James Bond, with those for real life 

heroes such as Dith Parn in The Killing Fields. Examines how Eastern and Western 

films have borrowed from each other's conventions of heroic music in films, such 

as, Crouching Tiger. Includes interviews with amongst others, Ridley Scott, Bill 

Conti, and Ang Lee. Episode four, Humour, focusses on how music can enhance a 

narrative to gain the best creative effect for the movie. For example, the 

conventions of slapstick humour were set with the silent films of Buster Keaton 

and Charlie Chaplin, accompanied by silly sound effects of bird whistles and 

drum bangs. Includes film excerpts from Beverly Hills Cop, Nurse Betty, and 

others. 

Episode five, The Chase examines how music is used in films to emphasise a chase 

scene, illustrated with selected film scenes. Episode six, The independents, is 

about the collaboration between film directors and composers, working in the 

independent sector. Discusses the advantages of freedom and room for change, as 

the independent film-makers are more prepared to take chances and experiment. 

They are more inventive, innovative and visionary in their search for the most 

expressive means to illustrate their stories. The main disadvantage for them is 

budgetary constraints. In the 1960s, the younger generation of film-makers began 

to make themselves felt in movies. It all started with the film, The graduate, 

which features the pop sound track by Simon and Garfunkel. Then, Easy rider, a 

low budget project, whose sound track album became an essential collector's item 

for any self-respecting young person. Some 20 years later, 'Hip-hop' music was 

used as background music against a back-drop of housing project in Brooklyn. 

Many independents are now making films for studios, thereby carrying over the

sensitivity, interesting and quirky aspects into film-making and studios, and 

nurturing innovation.

This episode examines the pivotal role of music in the bloody battles of the 

American union movement; its role in the fight against apartheid, and for civil 

and human rights everywhere. It profiles Joe Heilstrom, widely known as Joe Hill, 

a Swedish immigrant; and shows how his experience in the 'under-belly' of the 

American black labour market turned him into a hardened political activist. He 

became the most famous song writer of the trade union movement of the early 20th 

century. His songs captured the spirit of the radical industrial workers, and 

were passed from mouth to mouth across the American labour landscape, making him 

the father of 20th century guerilla minstrels, like Woody Guthrie, John Lennon 

and Bob Dylan. Includes selected archival footage of Joe Hill and his role as 

political activist.

This episode features mid-1960s anti-war protests, a recurring theme of the 

history of music and politics. The success of the pop culture in the late 1960s 

and early 1970s, immoblised a generation to try and end the Vietnam War. It has 

become a benchmark for successful music activism. By 1967, through music, the 

Vietnam War and Civil Rights movements in the United States, have successfully 

reached out and people were getting involved in politics, especially mainstream 

rock bands. Includes selected archival footage of contemporary protest movements 

and their campaigns for their cause, through musical performances to reach out 

to the people. Includes also interviews with protest group members and their 

leaders, presenting their views.

This episode looks at rock musicians' alliances with political parties and the 

result when the line between worlds blurs. Politicans, fascinated by rock 

stars's ability to generate emotional intensity among their fans, try to exploit 

the stars' image by using it for political propaganda. The trauma of September 

11, 2001 leads to a sea change of political mood amongst some in the music world, 

and a re-evaluation of traditional loyalties and positions. Immersed in the 

political issues of the day, the rock community questions the vile and ugly 

aspects of the U.S. war on terrorism, and the way the Bush administration 

cleverly paralyse people from voicing their opinions by wrapping the U.S. flag 

around them. Includes selected archival footage of rock musicians' involvement 

in political campaigns, and public appearances with political candidates whom 

they supported. Includes also interviews with artists, who present their views 

on the pros and cons of supporting a political party, and the extent to which 

they should be involved.

This four-part history of country music begins with its origins in the remote 

mountains of the American rural south. Traces its journey from the Appalachians 

down into the world of recordings and commerce. Covers the period from the 1930s, 

through the decades to the turn of the century. Through good times and bad times, 

country music has evolved and come into its own, sustained by its theme of 

reality, harmony and natural beauty. Its hilly-billy image is now gone and it is 

embraced nationally. The commercial home of country music is Nashville, while 

Blue Grass music is a statement about roots, built on a sound, a heart and a 

spirit. Features traditional country musicians with their roots in America's 

mythic past, such as, Ralph Stanley and his Blue Grass music; the Carter Family; 

and the Louvin Brothers. Closely associated with Nashville is Hank Williams, the 

most revered icon in country music history. Then there is Johnny Cash, the 

'outsider' who became a country legend. By the mid-1990s, female artists have 

emerged into a position of complete autonomy and self-sufficiency, like Gillian 

Welch who owns her own recording company. Includes selected archival footage of 

gigs showing highlights of performances by the great names in U.S. country 

music. Includes also extensive interviews with country musicians for comments 

and a sharing of knowledge and personal narratives. 

Episode 1 is the story of how country music journeyed down from the mountains 

and came to be recorded on discs, enabling it to reach beyond the Appalachian 

Mountains. Episode 2 is about how country music squandered the legacy of its 

greatest star, Hank Williams, just as he had squandered his own life. Episode 3 

tells the story of the outsiders who have taken country music beyond Nashville; 

and episode 4 is the story of how the women of country music fought to gain 

control of their identity, their songs, their sovereignty, and the future of 

country itself.

A documentary tracing the long musical career of the legendary trumpeter Miles 

Davis, from the 1960s to 1991. During that period, he acquired a distinctive 

music style. The crazy, troubled times of the late 1960s, in the U.S.A., 

influenced Davis' musical development into something beyond jazz - a kind of 

blue with electronic effects. It became his signature theme. He learnt from the 

classical jazz musicians, like Jimi Hendrix, Chick Corea and Carlos Santana; but 

ended up playing their kind of music in his unique way, according to his own 

interpretation. Demonstrates his music style, with a close-up of his performance 

on the electric piano. Includes interviews with Miles, Herbie Hancock, Carlos 

Santana, Stanley Couch and other great musicians who performed with him during 

his long career. Their reminicences provide an insight into Davis' personality 

and his talent which made him a worldwide celebrity. Includes selected archival 

footage of his performances on stage, highlighting his time at the Isle of Wight 

Festival, August 1970, and in Tokyo in 1973. Showcases many of Davis' most 

influential and timeless musical compositions, in albums such as, Miles runs the 

Voodoo down, Bitches brew and So what.

COLLINS. 

[Sydney : ABC Radio National, 1999]. 

Originally broadcast on ABC Radio National, 29 October, 1999. 

Presenter, Lorena Allam. 

This program looks at issues of racism, substance abuse, land rights, suicide 

and police harassment from the perspective of young Aboriginal people in Alice 

Springs. Producer Tony Collins spent a month or so with the young people in this 

program, recording their music and listening to their stories. The program looks 

at how the young people use hip hop as an artistic expression of the joys and 

frustrations of everyday life. It looks at how black American pop icons have 

inspired a generation of black Australians to express themselves - who also have 

to rid themselves of the trappings: American gangsta slang, sexism and violence, 

and the accents - and develop their own styles.

HOLLYWOOD AND THE HOLOCAUST [VIDEORECORDING] / DIRECTED BY DANIEL ANKER ; 

PRODUCED BY DANIEL ANKER, ELLIN BAUMEL. 






Warning. 

A two-part documentary on the history of the Hollywood film industry and its 

complex relationship with Nazism and the Holocaust. Covers the period, from the 

late 1930s, through the war years and 1970s, up to the present, illustrating the 

film industry's attitudes and approaches in their handling of such controversial 

topics. Hollywood did not make many Holocaust movies because the story is very 

difficult to put on a film, and its ineffable experiences were only related by 

camp survivors. But, such Holocaust films as were produced have shaped how 

Americans understand and remember those horrific historical events, which had 

happened far away from America's shores. Includes selected archival footage of 

Hollywood films, chiefly those by Warner Bros. Inc. and some by MGM; and, in 

comparison, present day British television documentary series on Nazism and the 

Holocaust; with accompanying comments and apprasials by authors, film critics 

and others in the film industry.

'Un film de Laurent V{u00E9}ray et Agn{u00E8}s de Sacy.' 

Script, George Burchett, Andrew McDonald. 

English version, readers: Alastair Duncan, David Ritchie, Diana Brown. 

A critical appraisal of films about World War 1, typically showing scenes of 

fighting, with trenches and explosions to evoke images of the WW1 battlefield. 

But, these film images are fictional, staged some years later, while the real 

battle remained unseen. From both sides of the front, dozens of cinematographers 

filmed the battle scenes from beginning to end, between censorship and 

propaganda. They filmed what they could, and however they could, basing them on 

scanty archival documents. Featured are two imaginery cinematographers,

espectively from the French and German sides, filming their stories of World 

War 1. Includes archival footage of some scenes of actions on the 'war front'.

Amelie Poulain has led a sheltered life, growing up in an original, if slightly 

dysfunctional family. Educated at home by over-protective parents, she retreats 

into a fantasy world of her own. She finally leaves home and finds work as a 

waitress in a Parisian cafe. She interacts curiously with her neighbors and 

customers, as well as a mysterious Photomaton-image collector and one of his 

even more mysterious photo subjects. Life is pretty uneventful until a chain of 

extraordinary events leads her to the discovery of a tin box containing a 

schoolboy's long forgotten mementos. It is then that Amelie discovers her true 

vocation in life - helping others find love and happiness - which she sets about 

in her own unique and magical way. When Amelie falls in love herself, she 

realises that making neat solutions is not as easy as it seems. Gradually, she 

finds that the way to happiness requires her to take her own initiative and 

reach out to others.

Story by Chester Erskine ; music composed and conducted by Dimitri Tiomkin ; 

director of photography, Harry Stradling. 

Robert Mitchum (Frank Jessup); Jean Simmons (Diane Tremayne); co-starring, Mona 

Freeman, Herbert Marshall. 

This film, made at Fox in the 1940s and early 1950s, is a study in perverse 

psychology, with the recurring 'noir theme' of fatally obsessive relationships. 

Diane's real obsession is her father. Frank's almost dreamy restraint heightens 

the sense of fatalism. The story begins with Mrs. Tremayne's mysterious 

poisoning by gas. Ambulance driver, Frank Jessup, meets her refined but sensuous

stepdaughter Diane, who quickly pursues and infatuates him. Under Diane's 

seductive influence, Frank is soon the Tremayne chauffeur; then her husband. 

Following the motorcar accident, in which Diane's parents were killed, he 

suspects danger under her surface sweetness. He divorces her; and, when he 

prepares to leave, Diane schemes to trap him so that he will never escape. Diane 

Tremayne is outwardly angelic but inwardly predatory. She has a blankness 

suggestive of icy sexuality, which runs counter to the femme fatale stereotype.

Cast: Karl Sch{u00F6}nb{u00F6}ck ... [et al.]. 

The Bellaria Cinema is an institution in Vienna. Set in Vienna, 2000, this film 

is about a group of elderly people who go to the Bellaria, every day, to see 

German films from the 1930s and 1940s. Although they were made during the Nazi 

period, the films are sentimental romances and musicals with stars such as Zarah 

Leander. The programme delves into the lives of the moviegoers, some from the 

seedier end of showbiz, others are fanatical star worshippers and autograph 

collectors, particularly an irrepressible set of twins from Munich. When 91-year 

-old former star Karl Schoenboeck comes to the Bellaria, they are all delighted. 

United in their distaste for today's cinema, they are blissfully happy living in 

the past.

Film editor, Don Cambern ; director of photography, Laszlo Kovacs ; written by

Starring: Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson, Luana Anders, Karen Black. 

Two young men undertake a motorcycle trip to New Orleans, meeting hippies, 

rednecks, prostitutes, and drugs along the way. It is the story of a journey by 

two self-righteous, anti-hero bikers, eastward through the American Southwest. 

"Captain America" Wyatt (Fonda) and Billy (Hopper) score big by selling drugs as 

they travel from Los Angeles eastwards. A classic youth film of the 1960's, it 

reflects the attitudes and longings of a whole generation in search of the real 

America, in search of freedom (or the illusion of freedom) in a conformist 

America, surrounded by paranoia, bigotry and violence. The message of the film 

is that death seems to be the only escape from the system.

This film is a classic study on the psychology of imprisonment. It is based on 

the infamous 'Stanford prison experiment' conducted in 1971 by Phil Zimbardo, 

Dept. of Psychology, Stanford University, Stanford, California. The experiment 

is a classic demonstration of the power of social situations to distort personal 

identities and long cherished values and morality, as the experimental subjects 

(students) internalised situational identities in their roles as prisoners and 

guards. 

In the film, a makeshift prison is set up in a research laboratory, complete 

with cells, bars and surveillance cameras. For two weeks, twenty male

participants are hired to play prisoners and guards. The 'prisoners' are locked 

up and have to follow seemingly mild rules. The 'guards' are told simply to 

retain order without using physical violence. Everyone is free to quit at any 

time, thereby forfeiting payment. In the beginning the mood between the two 

groups is insecure, and rather emphatic. Soon quarrels arise and the wardens use 

more drastic sanctions to confirm their authority.

Based on the novel by Ray Bradbury. 

Director, Francois Truffaut ; script, Francois Truffaut and Jean-Louis Richard ;

Oskar Werner, Julie Christie, Cyril Cusack. 

In this society of the future the job of firemen is to hunt out and incinerate 

books. 451 degrees F. is the temperature at which they burn. Typically Truffaut 

sought for new ways to combine pre-existing elements and unsettle audience 

expectations. Here he makes the fantastic seem banal and the banal seem strange. 

He strips Bradbury's story of its futuristic elements and apocalyptic ending in 

blending elements of the recent past and the near future. Truffaut humanises 

Bradbury's abstract characters blurring the clear-cut opposition between Montag 

and the Captain. Julie Christie's dual roles suggest the potential for both 

submission and revolt in most of us.

This film is based on the true story of Harry Saunders, uncle of writer/director 

Richard Frankland, who dedicated it to the memory of his two uncles, Harry and 

Reg Saunders, members of the Australian Defence Force. Harry Saunders enlisted 

in the Australian army in 1942. Harry, a Koorie and Mitch, a non-aboriginal 

Australian are two mates who go off to fight in Papua New Guinea, during World 

War Two. The story follows Harry's journey, as he learns of and faces his 

impending death. It is about a friendship which rises above race and social

arriers. It is also a story of the way war drives men to the brink; and how the 

journey itself becomes more important than the journey's end.

Jammin' in the Middle E is an Arab-Australian comedy about food, families, 

gangsta rap and rosewater! The screenplay is based on the true-life stories of 

young adults from the Arabic community in the Western Sydney suburb of 

Bankstown. The story centres round the lives of three young people. Naima and 

Ishak are sister and brother from a nice, but conservative, middle class Muslim 

family in Western Sydney. Ishak is a car-crazy dreamer, who lays about his 

parent's home fantasising on winning street races against his arch-rival Sharief, 

and of being the world's greatest rapper. Naima, on the other hand, is going to 

university and is sick of rap, tired of the boys' dreams and the car-culture 

that dominates her brother's and his friend's lives. Naima's ambition is to 

break from her traditional role of pampering males and feeding her family, as 

well as loosening the paternal clutches of her loving but over protective father, 

Said. The film roles are performed by young people from the Arabic community in 

Bankstown.

corrupt governor. Ogami and his infant son, Daigoro, become involved with the

"Making The Misfits" is the story behind the film. It tells the tale of Arthur 

Miller's development of the characters and the odyssey of finding the producer, 

director and cast. It is a rather intimate and inside visit with Miller, and a 

journey through the process of film making intermingled with stories and 

memories of surviving members of the cast and crew. The name of the film itself 

aptly describes not only the film, but also a group of actors, a group of 

characters, the author, the director, the producer, a place and a time. All 

involved were misfits in their own ways; a fiercely individualistic, troubled 

and unruly constellation of personalities and reputations.

It is the first screen characterisation of Philip Marlowe, with Dick Powell in 

the role. Powell's portrayal is closest to Chandler's own concept of Marlowe. 

While the first person narration preserves Chandler's prose style. The blend of 

the hard-boiled tradition and 'a kind of muted expressionism' was the archetype 

for many films that followed.

Cast, starring: Robert Mitchum (Jeff), Jane Greer (Kathie), Kirk Douglas (Whit), 

Rhonda Fleming (Meta Carson), Richard Webb ( Jim). 

This story of double-crosses, deceit and murder centres round a former private 

detective, Jeff Baily. He is hired by a gangster to find his former girlfriend, 

who took $40,000.00 from him and disappeared. But, he still loves her. Jeff not 

only finds the girl, but falls in love with her as well, thus, making the 

gangster very jealous and annoyed. During the investigation and the unexpected 

love affair, several murders occur and, ultimately, leads to the death of Jeff 

and the girl. 

Mitchum's restrained acting as the ill-fated hero brings to the film a special 

hallucinatory quality. Tourneur's use of the complex flashback structure, in 

which the past gradually overtakes the present, produces a tragic, other- 

worldliness in the film. While Musuraca's use of deep shadow in the photography, 

gives a disconcerting effect.

RAN is a six-part Australian drama series, which tells the story of a white 

registered nurse, working in a health clinic, on Masig Island, in the Torres 

Strait. The island is home to just under 300 people; and it is one of seventeen 

island communities governed by individual local councils. The drama begins with 

Helen's return to the island, after attending her mother's funeral on mainland 

Australia. Receiving no warm welcome home on arrival at the island's airstrip, 

Helen sets off to the clinic. She arrives to find everything in chaos, and sets 

about restoring some kind of order, and in that time viewers meet some of the 

other principal characters in RAN. As every episode unfolds, the various island 

characters make an appearance; and, Helen confronts the reality of her doubtful 

future on the island, whatever strong connections she might have to the place 

she considers home. 

The series highlights local issues like domestic violence, dengue fever, 

diabetes and substance abuse; as well as, lack of employment opportunities for 

the young, males and females alike. The islanders are portrayed with all their 

strengths and weaknesses. Describes also the social life and customs of the 

islanders. Through it all, one glimpses the seemingly idyllic natural beauty and 

tranquility of the island.

Film cast of chiefly German nationals in the roles of members of the three

A film dramatisation of how the events of 11 September 2001 change the lives of 

three very different families, in Berlin. Ashraf (Rene Ifrah), a Pakistani, owns 

a pizzeria. His German girlfriend, Lena (Nina Proll), is pregnant with their 

child. She is shocked and disturbed by Ashraf's support of the Taliban and lack 

of sympathy for the victims after the attack. Ashraf does become more of a 

sympathiser and this change is also propelled by the hatred directed at him for 

coming from a country supportive of the Taliban. Helmer (Jorg Schuttauf) is a 

policeman in a special police force and is an admirer of the American ideal and 

way of life. His support of America borders on the fanatical and it becomes 

apparent that he will never look at Muslims in the same way again. Throughout 

all of this, Baumberger (Moritz Rinke), a German author, questions European 

foreign policy. Incorporates selected archival media footage of the September 11

plane crashes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, New York, and the 

consequences.

in Berlin at the time of the Weimar Republic. When his brother commits suicide, 

Abel seeks refuge in the kindly Professor Veregus' apartment. Here, he discovers

chilling mystery that drove his brother to kill himself.

various ages and walks of life, with whom they offer to share their knowledge,

instead of for teaching purposes. Gradually, some of the men in the group

Editor, Claus Beling. 

Starring: Ben Becker and Alexandra Maria Lara. 

This four-part drama is about the perilous love affair between Friedrich von der 

Trenck, a young country nobleman and Princess Anna Amalia, Frederick the Great 

of Prussia's favourite sister. It is based on the autobiography of Friedrich, 

Baron Trenck, a dashing and brilliant but impetuous young law student, who 

attracts the attention of Frederick the Great of 18th century Prussia. At 

Frederick's invitation, Trenck joins the Royal Guard, is quickly promoted and 

seems destined for a great career. He also catches the eye of the King's sister, 

Princess Amalia, and a romance between them develops. But, their love affair 

becomes entangled with the intrigues at court. 

King Frederick II then imprisons Trenck in the dungeons at Glatz for treason, 

and as a punishment for continuing his love affair with the Princess. When 

Trenck's gaoler, his arch-enemy Major von Jaschinsky, tries to kill him, Trenck 

escapes and defects to Austria. This news devastates both the King and Princess 

Anna Amalia. She writes to Von der Trenck but the letter is intercepted by Von 

Jaschinsky. King Frederick II decides that if Anna Amalia will not marry Von 

Jaschinsky she must enter a nunnery. Trenck hears the truth about the forged 

letter and leaves Austria in search of Anna Amalia. 

In the final part, Trenck deserts the Austrian army to search for Princess 

Amalia, after he hears the truth about the forged letter. Meanwhile, Anna Amalia

has left the nunnery to look for Trenck, but Jaschinsky has her followed and she 

unwittingly leads him to Trenck. The villainous Jaschinsky has Trenck 

incarcerated in a new fortress. Von der Trenck is saved from impending madness 

by Anna Amalia, who is able to visit him in her capacity as an abbess. With 

renewed determination, Trenck escapes from the fortress and is reunited with his 

true love. Just when the couple think they are safe they fall into the hands of 

King Frederick.

University, Director of C.E.R.A.). 

A drama based on the idea that oil companies, having overstated their oil 

reserves to keep their value high, are faced with a wave of terrorist attacks, 

which aimed at jeopardising oil supplies to the West. Reluctantly, the oil 

companies have to admit that there are only two years' supply left. Interweaves 

interviews with scientists, economists, environmentalists and Green politicians, 

with dramatisation of the life of greedy stock broker Paul. He has invested 90% 

of his company's shares in oil and watches with glee as the price of petrol 

skyrockets. His professional and personal life are directly affected as a 

disastrous recession takes hold of the oil-dependent world.

(Ministro de Interior). 

A film dramatisation of the life of freedom fighter, Dolores Gonzalez Catarain 

who became known as Yoyes. The story is based on real life events and looks at 

the powerful connection between past and present. Traces Yoyes' early 

involvement with the Basque Separatist Movement (ETA), a group that leads a 

violent, thirty-year campaign for Spain's independence. After becoming 

disillusioned with the ETA, following a fatal bombing attack in Madrid, Yoyes 

moves to Mexico to live in exile. From thence, the film focuses on Yoyes' 

marriage to a philosophy professor and the birth of her son. Twelve years later, 

after Franco's death and the birth of democracy in Spain, Yoyes gathers the 

courage to return home. As a mother, she leaves behind her radical activism of 

previous years. Yet, members of the ETA refuse to allow her to let go of the 

past. This film was shot in secret due to the sensitive political nature of the 

subject. Some characters, places, situtations and dates have been changed.

SOS presents a selection of six short films. Firstly, 'Ryan', from Canada, the 

2005 Oscar-winning animation. It is a portrait of Ryan Larkin, one of the most 

influential figures in Canadian animation. He now lives on skid row, following 

years of drug and alcohol abuse. Secondly, 'Medusa, the first date', an 

Australian animation, is the story about a well-meaning Gorgon who has 

difficulty finding love in the big city. When Medusa goes out on her first date 

with Eric, all seems to be going well until she is invited out for a coffee. 

Things take a turn for the worse when she introduces herself to Eric's parrot 

and it all goes down hill from there. Thirdly, 'Loose ends', a Norwegian film, 

is an absurd comedy about two friends in the process of growing apart. On the 

surface, this is an intricate discussion of details in the Star Wars universe, 

but underneath there are deeper disagreements. 

Fourthly, 'Going to the dogs', an Australian animated film, is a highly stylised 

and half-animated parody documentary. It uses dogs as metaphors to examine 

multiculturalism and immigration policies in Australia. Afghan hounds are 

welcome in Australia, but wonders if Afghan people are. Fifthly, 'PG, Guard dog', 

from the U.S., is Bill Plympton's latest Oscar-nominated. It has no dialogue. In 

it Plympton answers that eternal question of why dogs bark at innocent creatures 

like pigeons and squirrels; and of what they so afraid. Finally, 'Forklift 

driver Klaus ...', a German film, pays tribute to industrial safety educational 

films. Klaus has just passed his driving test for forklifts, but his first day 

on the job turns out to be the real challenge. Cruel but informative accidents 

happen. Only few survive the bloodshed.

MDA is a medical-legal organisation which exists to defend doctors and where 

necessary compensate patients. The MDA team's role is to unravel the facts in 

situations where intentions have been tangled and the truth is debatable. The 

patient's right to know and understand all risks associated with any surgery, 

medically and legally, is emphasised in the series. Footage of the MDA team's 

preoccupation with several cases, which turned up in quick succession; and how 

every case was handled. An actress had broken her toe during a film shoot, and 

the orthopaedic surgeon in his report to the producer recommended that she stay 

off her foot for three weeks. Through solicitor Gabrielle Bromley, the film 

company is reclaiming the cost of film shooting delay from Dr. Miller, for 

failing to recommend a treatment which would not have delayed filming. Bromley 

next claimed compensation for damages and loss of earnings, on behalf of Mrs. 

Kavanagh. She alleged that negligent epidural block by Dr. Edward Walsh had 

damaged the patient's nerves, incapacitating her mobility. Dr. Sadaka was 

implicated in the anti-depressant case, in which her patient killed himself with 

an overdose of the drug prescribed by her. Then, there was allegation against 

Dr. Rupert Carr for incompetence resulting in unacceptably high infant mortality 

rate, by one of their own, Dr. A. Morello. Meanwhile, Dr. Morello himself was 

implicated in a costly manslaughter case, a carry-over from his Albury days; and 

in trouble with the MDA board over his fudged report. As for Dr. Carr's case, 

with such unacceptable high infant mortality statistics stacked up against him, 

the MDA team had to advise him on the alternative course of retirement, with his 

reputation intact.

every case was handled. An actress had broken her toe during a film shoot, and 

the orthopaedic surgeon in his report to the producer recommended that she stay 

off her foot for three weeks. Through solicitor Gabrielle Bromley, the film 

company is reclaiming the cost of film shooting delay from Dr. Miller, for 

failing to recommend a treatment which would not have delayed filming. Bromley 

next claimed compensation for damages and loss of earnings, on behalf of Mrs. 

Kavanagh. She alleged that negligent epidural block by Dr. Edward Walsh had 

damaged the patient's nerves, incapacitating her mobility. Dr. Sadaka was 

implicated in the anti-depressant case, in which her patient killed himself with 

an overdose of the drug prescribed by her. Then, there was allegation against 

Dr. Rupert Carr for incompetence resulting in unacceptably high infant mortality 

rate, by one of their own, Dr. A. Morello. Meanwhile, Dr. Morello himself was 

implicated in a costly manslaughter case, a carry-over from his Albury days; and 

in trouble with the MDA board over his fudged report. As for Dr. Carr's case, 

with such unacceptable high infant mortality statistics stacked up against him, 

the MDA team had to advise him on the alternative course of retirement, with his 

reputation intact.

situations where intentions have been tangled and the truth is debatable. This 

four-part drama is set in the Prospect Valley Hospital, where Bill Henderson is 

being treated for an angina attack by young intern, Dr. Liz Gibson, who is the 

subject of an enquiry by the Health Review Board into her competence. The MDA 

team, with Bill Henderson as case manager, have undertaken to defend Liz and is 

initially successful, deflecting a formal hearing. But, Liz's competence is 

again being questioned by the Board, following the death of her patient. 

Suspecting a political agenda behind Dr. Gibson's recurring troubles, Jamie and 

Layla investigate. They uncover stories pointing to a hospital in crisis, and 

obviously, Dr. Gibson is made a scapegoat to conceal more serious issues. When a 

young woman is found dead in the hospital toilets, the hospital{u02BC}s woes hit 

the front-page news, courtesy of a photo leak to the press. Knowing that 

intentional government under funding is behind the hospital's troubles, Liz 

takes the fight right to the Minister, with community support. In another 

development, Meg who feels betrayed by Steve Forest, approaches MDA, then 

appears on the television, with her revelations, forcing the Minister to resign, 

and casting doubt on the competence of the Health Review Board. Another 

repercussion is the closure of the Emergency Wing at Prospect Valley Hospital as 

a cost cutting measure. Though Liz Gibson is reinstated, her old job no longer

exists, the result of the closures. Interweaves into the main story, job stress 

leading to Henderson's heart attacks; tensions within the MDA Team, arising from 

differences of opinions; and personal relationships, all of which complicate 

matters for MDA.

This two-part documentary uncovers 50 years' sporting history in Melbourne. 

Shows how sports changed Melbourne and the lives of Melburnians and their 

attitudes towards sport. Features some home-grown sporting heroes. Underlines 

the role of Seven Melbourne in promoting sports throughout these years, 

initially by the most primitive live telecast. Part one looks at some of the 

most memorable moments in football, tennis, golf and boxing, taking viewers back 

nearly half a century. Includes selected archival footage of the original 

telecast of the 1956 Melbourne Olympics; and other major sporting events in 

Melbourne.

Part two looks at the evolution of the Brownlow Medal telecast by Channel Seven. 

It also delves into some 50 years of sports programmes, amongst which are 

Seasons, League Teams, and best known of all, World of Sport. It includes also 

seven memorable moments in Melbourne's sporting history. They include the 1966 

St. Kilda v. Collingwood football final; John McEnroe v. Mikael Pernfors, 1990 

Australian Tennis Open, 4th round; Craig Parry in the 1998 President's Cup, 

Royal Melbourne; Ted Whitten's final lap of honour, MCG, June 17th 1995; Pat 

Cash v. Mikael Pernfors in the 1986 Davis Cup final; return of the home town 

hero, John Famechon to Melbourne, January 1969; and finally, the November 5th 

2002 Melbourne Cup, at Flemington, in which Damien Oliver won the cup on Media 

Puzzle. The common theme throughout this documentary is the celebration of sport 

in Melbourne, through the eyes of men and women who enrich with their knowledge; 

entertain with their humour; and colour Melbourne's world through their 

experiences. Throughout these 50 years, Seven Melbourne has contributed by being 

'there' and telecating sporting programmes; and growing alongside Melbourne.

A FINE BODY OF GENTLEMEN [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCED BY JOHN IZZARD. 

2003. 


Broadcast on ABC-TV, 10 July, 2003. 

It was the 1860s and 13 Aboriginal cricketers forged a place for themselves in 

the history of Australia - but an opportunity to harmonise black and white 

relations was lost. A Fine Body of Gentlemen looks at the three-year odyssey of 

these sportsmen, their love of the game of cricket and at the white men who 

encouraged their skills. Their great adventure saw them challenge and play most 

teams in the western districts of Victoria and then go on to play and win in 

Melbourne and Sydney against the best white teams of the day. In 1868, the team 

travelled to England and were feted by the English aristocracy, played and dined 

with the best English cricket teams and were lionised by some of the English 

press. The team became renowned for their style, skill, attitude and colourful 

personality and presence both on and off the field.

transformation of the sport into professionalism. The birth of what would become 

known as 'The Chappell era' had its genesis in the demise of Bill Lawry as

about his appointment via a telephone call from journalist Alan Shiell and vowed 

never to let the same thing happen to him! In interviews recorded in Australia, 

England and the West Indies all the big names of the era reflect on the cricket, 

the characters and the controversies that shaped the destiny of the unique game 

that is a national pastime.

DIRECTED BY IAN GRAHAM ; SCRIPT AND NARRATION, BRUCE ARNOLD. 



Extracts from Ulysses read by Jeanne Crowley.

Filmed in Trieste, Dublin, Paris and New York, this documentary film traces 

James Joyce's life while writing his epic novel Ulysses and examines the history 

of the novel's publication. Readers in England and America were initially 

deprived of Ulysses, which became the focus of sensational charges of 

pornography and obscenity. A U.S. Federal Court decision in 1934 finally ended 

the legal debate, but more than eighty years after its publication, Ulysses 

still causes controversy. Includes interviews with authors, academics, Joycean 

scholars and surviving relatives.

James Joyce's novel Ulysses is universally recognised as the most important 

literary achievement of the 20th Century. The book follows, in great detail, the 

course of one day in Dublin, June 16, 1904, a day now known as Bloomsday. This 

documentary, to celebrate the centenary of Bloomsday, works its way through 

Ulysses, examining the novel's narrative structure and exploring some of the 

main themes in an accessible and lively manner. Imperfect Day utilises various 

media to show how Joyce's word was conceived and written. Also identifies some 

of the ways in which this novel has made its presence felt throughout the world.

This five-part BBC series looks at some of the countries which are not 

officially recognised as political entities by the world. They are the breakaway 

states which are determined to remain separate and independent. Some survive 

peacefully with their own borders, money and presidents. But, others are a 

magnet for terrorism and weapons smuggling, with armies ready to fight for their 

autonomy. They include Somaliland - originally part of Somalia; Transneistria - 

a breakaway state of Moldova, in the former Soviet Union; and Taiwan - the 

Chinese 'renegade' state. Include also, South Ossetia, Abkhazia - a breakaway of 

Georgia; and Nagorno-Karabakh - formerly part of Azerbaijan. Journalist, Simon 

Reeve travels to these places to discover their current social, economic and 

political conditions.

In 2001 the self-declared Republic of Somaliland, in the Horn of Africa, 

celebrated ten years since they broke away from Somalia. Somaliland has a 

government, an army, a national flag and an anthem, and even has its own

currency. But, in the past decade, Somaliland has been unable to secure 

international recognition as an independent state. They are in the middle of the 

worst drought they have had in 30 years and no international aid, medical or 

otherwise, is available to them, even emergency aid, because they are not 

recognised as a country.

Transneistria is a separatist region, situated on a narrow strip of land 

between the Dniester river and the Ukrainian border. It proclaimed independence 

from Moldova in 1990; and broke away from the Soviet Union just before the USSR 

collapsed. Officially, Transneistria is part of Moldova, but a bloody civil war 

in the early 1990s resulted in an uneasy peace. The international community does 

not recognise its self-declared state-hood and sovereignty. It remains in a 

tense stand-off with Moldova. The present situation remains uneasy, in the 

region.

CHINA - TAIWAN [VIDEORECORDING] / FILMED AND DIRECTED BY IAIN OVERTON. 





Warning. 


Taiwan is not officially recognised as a country because of its ongoing dispute 

with China. The island has one of Asia's few functioning democracies and one of 

its strongest economies. But for the island's 23 million people, the future is 

overshadowed by an unresolved dispute with China. Under Chairman Mao the Chinese 

Communists defeated Nationalist rivals, who fled to Taiwan and took over. Taiwan 

has since become a stable democracy, but Beijing views Taiwan as a renegade 

province, and wants it back. In an interview with Simon Reeves, a senior Chinese

GEORGIA - SOUTH OSSETIA, ABKHAZIA [VIDEORECORDING] / FILMED AND DIRECTED BY WILL 

DAWS. 





Warning. 


South Ossetia, is in Georgia and was formerly part of the Soviet Union. It is 

inhabited mostly by ethnic Ossetians, who speak a language remotely related to 

Farsi. Russian peacekeeping forces are kept on the border on a peace 

-keeping mandate, but the soldiers see themselves as South Ossetians. But, the 

breakaway state was recently brought back to the fold of Georgia by President

Mikhail Saakashvili. 

Abkhazia is another breakaway state, which is situated in the north-western 

corner of Georgia. It was a well-known prime holiday destination for the Soviet 

elite. Its battle for independence from Georgia, since the collapse of the USSR, 

has reduced the economy to ruins, forcing many people to live in squalor as 

refugees, and unable to return to their homeland of Abkhazia.

AZERBAIJAN - NAGORNO KARABAKH [VIDEORECORDING] / FILMED AND DIRECTED BY IAIN 

OVERTON. 





Warning. 


Nagorno-Karabakh (NK) is situated in south-western Azerbaijan and is a fertile 

area of striking beauty, but scarred by its violent history. Azerbaijan and 

Armenia became independent after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but a 

mountainous area of Azerbaijan called Nagorno-Karabakh triggered war. 

Historically, it was mainly Armenian Christian. When it wanted independence, 

Armenian troops helped the Karabakh army push the Azeris out. 

Azerbaijan is still officially at war over NK. The ongoing bitter rivalry for 

control between ethnic Armenians and Azeris goes back over a century to 

competition between Christian Armenian and Muslim Turkish and Persian 

influences.

and political assassination. Among members of this panel are Kim Beazley and 

Tony Abbott, both of whom are P.M. for the night; the former P.M. of Malaysia, 

Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad; and the editor-in-chief of The Bulletin, Garry 

Linnell. Religious views are provided by the Anglican Archbishop of Australia,

culture and life. The Galungan festival is used as a counterpoint to the 

excessive festivities of the Interhash participants and contrasts the natural 

grace and good manners of the average Balinese with the behaviour of many 

tourists. The film also explores the historical and psychological foundations

Narrator, English version: Alastair Duncan. 

Tells the story of the Persian Empire in its final years, and its fall at the 

hands of Alexander of Macedonia. The Persian Empire, 2,500 years ago, was a 

powerful, vast multi-national state. King Darius of Achaemenid royal lineage, 

ruled from his golden throne at his palace, Persepolis, the eighth wonder of 

antiquity. Persia's nemesis lay in the tiny Macedonian kingdom. Its young ruler, 

Alexander, became a formidable adversary as he pursued Aristotle's call to free 

the Greeks of Persian yoke, and to seek vengeance for the destruction of Athens 

by Xerxes, during the Persian Wars, 150 years before. Alexander was a brilliant 

military leader, energetic, good-looking and charismatic, with a strong 

following. These qualities combined with his ambition to turn his campaigns in 

Persia into victory over Darius. When Alexander finally captured Persepolis, he 

reduced it to ashes, in return for Persian atrocities on Athens. While Darius 

was now a solitary refugee, dying far from Persepolis, at the hands of his own 

people. The whole empire died with him. 

A retelling based on interpretations of archaeological findings, and film 

reconstructions. Profiles both leaders, showing their strengths and weaknesses, 

and comparing their military skills in the battle fields. Includes computer- 

generated aerial maps and plans simulating military strategies and tactics of 

the opponents. Includes also visits to archaeological sites and interviews with

This film recreates the history of ancient Egypt, traced back some 5,000 years. 

Examines events in its final years, during the reign of its last ruler, Queen 

Cleopatra of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Cleopatra, who ruled for only 15 years, 

tried everything to save the declining empire. By then, another nation, Rome, 

now dominated the Mediterranean world. Egypt's fate was now in the hands of 

Roman senators - Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, and Octavian. Cleopatra had no 

allies, regarded as an alien, of Macedonian origin. While Caesar and Anthony 

dallied with Cleopatra, Octavian wanted Egypt for the Roman Empire. When 

Octavian's legions landed and occupied Alexandria, Cleopatra, alone and 

defenceless, rather than becoming Octavian's captive, killed herself with a 

poisonous snake bite. Egypt's new ruler, the Emperor Augustus, was now its new 

pharaoh. In 30 B.C., Emperor Augustus incorporated the ancient kingdom on the 

Nile into the Roman Empire. 

This film interweaves interpretations of archaeological finds, and 

reconstruction of historical events in Egypt, including its foreign relations. 

Profiles Cleopatra and compares her with some of her predecessors, showing their 

strengths and weaknesses. Includes computer-generated aerial maps and plans 

simulating military strategies and tactics of the rival parties. Includes also 

visits to archaeological sites and interviews with archaeologists for their 

expert comments.

Narrator, Alastair Duncan. 

This story of Hannibal, the legendary military genius, tells of his rise to be

the greatest commander of all time, his decline and fall. He set out from 

Carthage with warriors, horsemen and elephants to trek across the Alps to Italy, 

winning victories in Roman-occupied territory. His greatest success was at the 

Battle of Cannae, on the Italian southeast coast. But, that victory did not make 

him conqueror of Rome, though Romans felt threatened. It marked the beginning of 

the end for him and, eventually, led to the downfall of his own city. On his 

opposite side was young Scipio, an admirer with an entirely different 

disposition. Scipio had survived the inferno at Cannae; and soon, his time came. 

Newly appointed general, he had an idea about defeating Carthage. So began 

Scipio's operations into Carthaginian territories, turning the tide against 

Hannibal. The final act to the drama occurred at the battlefield of Zama, close 

to Carthage, where Hannibal lost the battle. He fled, taking refuge in Armenia 

where he died alone, at his own hands. Scipio spared Carthage, but future Roman 

politicians completely destroyed it, in revenge for Cannae. 

Profiles Hannibal, tracing his ancestral background, childhood, and family 

hostility towards Rome. Includes a description of Carthage. Compares Hannibal 

with his Roman counterpart, Scipio. Interweaves expert interpretations, dramatic 

reconstructions, computer-generated aerial maps and plans, simulating the 

military tactics which Hannibal used to out-manoeuvre and crush the Roman 

legions.

Editing, Bernhard Smets ; English version: script and subtitles, Rosamund 

Xiegert, Luano Lorenzelli, Keith McLennan. 

Narrator, English version, Alastair Duncan. 

This story of the Roman Empire recreates the final years of its 1000 year 

history. Discusses its militant and defensive foreign policy; how it originated 

with its legendary founder, Romulus some 3,000 years ago; and how it formed the 

basis of its rise to power and expansion to include all the known world. 

Features also Constantine the Great and the empire's revival, marking the 

beginning of the Christian Imperium Romanum. Examines the reasons for the 

empire's decline and downfall; particularly, the role of the Germanic tribes, 

who failed to integrate, besetting Rome. Towards the end, emboldened by what 

they perceived as the collapse of the central administration, they imposed 

their political will on Rome. Rome's death knell was tolled, on an autumn day in 

476 A.D., when Odoaker, the Germani commander, tore the diadem from the child 

emperor Augustus' head. Rome finally fell, but much of its culture survived, and 

was transformed into a new social structure which formed the core of pre- 

medieval Europe. 

A retelling based on interpretations of archaeological findings, and film 

recreations of significant historical events of the period. Includes interviews 

with ancient history experts and archaeologists who share their knowledge on the 

subject.

THE LOST LEGIONS OF VARUS [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCER/DIRECTOR, TONY BULLEY. 



Narrator, Jim Carter. 

Around 20,000 men in all, were annihilated in a running battle which lasted for 

three days. Lulled into a false sense of security by the Germanic chief Arminius, 

the Roman governor Publius Quinctilius Varus led his army into a trap that only 

a handful managed to escape alive. The loss of the Varian Legions was a massive 

psychological blow to the Roman Empire and, after 9 AD, the Romans gave up their 

plans to hold Germania.

Under the green fields of Hampshire, lies one of Britain's greatest 

archaeological mysteries ... a Roman city that seems to have simply vanished 

into thin air. In its time, the Roman city of Calleva Atrebatum was a busy, 

important and cosmopolitan city. Its streets were lined with shops and houses. 

Its inhabitants could visit markets, temples and baths, secure behind sturdy 

walls. But today, the ruins of those walls are all that remain. Since 1997 a 

team from the University of Reading has been digging deep into these remains to 

unearth the story of the city.

Editor, Jane Murrell. 

Narrator, John Morgan ; Music, The Harp Consort, Karl Jenkins. 

A three-part story of the Normans in medieval Europe, showing how they affected 

the lives of millions and influenced the history of Europe. But, curiously they

simply disappeared from all their conquered lands, their descendants losing all 

trace of Norman identity, save for the festivities and pageantries celebrating 

their Norman heritage. Victors of 1066, they emerged as a new military force on 

the European scene. Other brilliant campaigns and conquests followed 1066. 

Norman knights and adventurers ventured as far south as Southern Italy, 

particularly Sicily. By meddling in internal political conflicts and making 

themselves indispensable, they were handsomely rewarded. The final episode 

resumes the tale of their inroads, further into the British Isles. The Normans 

expanded anywhere by simply grabbing any land they wanted. They became the 

Pope's right-hand man, fighting the infidels in the Crusades, and were also the 

archetypical hero figure. Chroniclers presented them as glorified thugs. There 

is consensus that the Norman expansion coincided with Europe's expansion, 

economic and demographic 'take-off'. This retelling includes modern expert 

analyses and interpretations of those events by scholars featured. It includes 

also a selection of maps, illustrating historic sites and the geopolitical 

extent of Norman influence. Includes also Viking reenactments, and takes viewers 

on tours of historic sites, relating to those events.

Warning. 


Narrator, John Morgan ; music, The Harp Consort, Karl Jenkins. 

Episode one tells the story of the Norman invasion of Britain; the Scandinavian 

background of the Normans; and events in Europe leading up to it. The events of 

14th October 1066, at Battle Hill, near Hastings are retold here, with 

contributions from scholars on the subject. The consequence of that fateful day, 

was the annihilation of most of the British aristocracy and noble families. 

England, seen as a backward Anglo-Saxon country, was now under complete Norman 

influence. King William began his reign of terror with the systematic 

destruction of resistance. England was the new estate of King William, Duke of 

Normandy, and detailed day-to-day accounts of every piece of land were listed, 

resulting in the Doomsday Book. His reign was also marked by a building frenzy, 

as testified by numerous building remains dotting the British landscape. By the 

1090s, virtually, all aspects of Anglo-Saxon influence - political, cultural and 

religious - were radically changed to or influenced by French ways. Some things 

English - folk songs and the language - did survive, kept alive by the ordinary 

English people. Today, all that remains of the monument to the once great king 

is a simple marble slab and under it, a single thigh bone, overlooked by 

looters. Features reenactments of selected scenes of the long and fierce Battle 

of Hastings, in 1066; and fighting with the 'natives', elsewhere. Includes also 

a selection of maps, illustrating historic sites and the geopolitical extent of 

Norman influence. Takes viewers on tours of historic sites, relating to those 

events.

THE KINGDOM IN THE SUN [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCERS, CARYL EBENEZER, J. MERVYN 

WILLIAMS. 








Warning. 



The history of the Normans in southern Italy is about knights and adventurers, 

who meddled in internal politics and rewarded for it. Southern Italy of the new 

millennium was a melting pot of cultures and civilisations. It was the crossroad 

of Greek and Roman civilisations, Byzantine East and Catholic West; European 

North and Arab South. Sicily was a rich land, a field of dreams for young 

Normans yet to make their way in life. In Italy, the Normans made themselves 

indispensable to the Pope, and were handsomely rewarded with territories in 

southern Italy, where they settled, built, and ruled with an iron fist. One-time 

enemy of the Pope, they became papal legates in Sicily, with the mission of 

bringing it back into the papal fold. There they assumed power over military, 

political and religious affairs. In this way, the most capable amongst them, 

Robert Giscard founded a Norman dynasty, in Sicily. This kingdom in the sun died 

with Roger II, in 1154. By William II's reign, internal decay set in, and he 

died childless. In 1194, succession passed to Henry, Constance's husband, and 

Sicily became part of the Holy Roman Empire. From thence, the Normans 

disappeared from the scene, like elsewhere in Europe. Today, annual festivities 

and ruins are all that remind Sicilians of their Norman heritage. This is a 

retelling with contributions from experts on the subject. Includes reenactments 

of selected battle and crusade scenes. Includes also a selection of maps, 

illustrating historic sites and the geopolitical extent of Norman influence. 

Takes viewers on tours of historic sites, relating to those events.

Off-air recording of the SBS programme broadcast 10/0405. Copied under Part 5A 








Warning. 



Continues the history of the Normans in Britain. Under Norman rule, England's 

celtic culture was given a Norman makeover and French ways were imposed. The 

court of Eleanor, Henry's queen, was highly acclaimed as the height of culture. 

After Hastings, William the Conqueror continued his expansionist policy into 

Celtic Wales, Scotland and Ireland, which was finally conquered by Henry II. 

This period also saw the struggle for control over the Church of England, 

between Henry II and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas a Beckett. Henry's 

eldest son, Richard the Lion Hearted succceeded, but he was more French than 

English, and was hardly in England. Second son, John who succeeded, was the

incredibly bad king who made enemies at home and abroad. The animosity between 

him and King Phillip of France led to a costly war in which England lost all its 

continental possessions. From thence, England closed on itself and became 

increasingly obsessed with its identity as a single country, with the king 

living in England, identifying themselves as English. By the 13th century, 

England had become an insular country again. King John and Magna Carta marked 

the end of an era, for John died in all things, but language, an English king 

buried in England. It was only in 1801, when the English monarchy relinquished 

all claims to the French throne. The Normans now disappeared from the four 

nations of the British Isles, losing their identity. A retelling with 

contributions from experts on the subject. Features reenactments of selected 

historic scenes. Includes also a selection of maps, illustrating historic sites 

and the geopolitical extent of Norman influence. Takes viewers on tours of 

historic sites, relating to those events.

Documents a new analysis of the Gallipoli disaster. Involves the examination of 

the original maps used by British intelligence to plan the landings. This 

reveals gross inaccuracies, with the hills, contours and ridges of the area 

missing from these maps, thereby providing a false sense of the area. Involves 

also a search of the battlefields and the sea for evidence/remains of the 

tragedy. Importantly, there was a lack of information about the superiority of 

the Turkish defence. While the Turkish was fully aware of the planned invasion 

and were waiting armed with the latest machine guns, with efficient firing 

capability. The Allied soldiers who landed at Gallipoli were faced with an 

impossible task, from the very beginning. No amount of leadership or planning, 

in London, could have defeated an unbeatable combination. Questions why it was 

allowed to happen. Footage of geologist, Peter Doyle as he investigates, and 

explains that the terrain of Gallipoli was an even more brutal enemy, than the 

Turkish troops. Includes selected archival footage of the scenes of fighting at 

Gallipoli; and contributions from experts, such as archaeologists, geologists

The story of Edith, a fourteen-year-old Parisian Jew who is sent to Auschwitz 

with her parents, during World War II. Upon arrival, her parents are sent 

directly to the gas chambers. Meanwhile, Edith happens to meet a doctor who 

exchanges her identity papers with those of a French girl, who died the previous 

night. Now named Nicole, she is shipped out of Auschwitz to a small labour camp, 

where life eventually hardens her and she loses all resolve. She loses her 

empathy for her fellow prisoners and becomes the mistress of an SS officer. To 

survive, she becomes a Nazi collaborator. She is now a "kapo", or Nazi 

administrator of fellow prisoners. She is thus seen as a traitor and detested by 

her fellow inmates. When Nicole feels affection rising within her for a Russian 

prisoner of war, she feels her humanity start to resurface.

A narrative of the fierce battle for control of the holy Monte Cassino, and the 

town of Cassino, both directly on the only suitable road to Rome. It draws on 

revisits to the scenes of fighting, aerial camera footage and maps showing 

battle strategies, and personal narratives of participants in the conflict. On 

15th February, 1944, 222 Allied bombers flew to an unlikely target, with 

instructions to reduce it to rubble, because it was supposedly occupied by the 

Germans. The final assault on 19th May 1944, ended with their capture of the 

monastery. Unprecedented tonnes of bombs were dropped on the one building, 

completely destroying the foundation home of Benedictine Christendom, with some 

1,500 years of history. Witnesses viewed it as a betrayal of western 

civilisation. Many of the 800 refugees sheltering in the monastery vaults, 

including monks, were killed. Next to fall was the town of Cassino itself. The 

Allies now controlled the road to Rome, and proceeded to capture it, on 5th June 

1944, with all its cultural monuments intact. On the Allied side were commanders 

of the invasion -- H. Alexandar and Mark Clark, with plans to liberate as much 

of Italy as possible. On the German side, grim determination to hold the line 

and stop the Allied demands by Kesselring, under Hitler's orders. Eyewitness 

accounts are interwoven with selected footage from newsreels and from the 

American, British and German archives.

A recreation of D-Day for Paris, in August 1944, drawing on personal narratives 

of participants and local residents, revisits to the scenes of actions, with 

selected footage from newsreels and the national archives. The German army was 

still very much in control, and enjoying the good life of Paris. That summer's 

day, the growing tension, underlying the eerie calm in the emptying streets, 

erupted into open fighting. Next, a group of German soldiers, on their way to 

buy food, were showered with bullets in their vechicle. So began the revolt 

against the German occupation. Initially centred on the Police Prefecture, it 

soon spread all over Paris. The Germans were not ready, caught by surprise, but 

with superior fire power they still held the upper hand. For the French 

resistance fighters, who had finally emerged to reclaim Paris, it was a gamble 

with life and death. Hitler had planned for Paris to be destroyed, if it could 

not be defended militarily. 

Paris had its share of Nazi collaborators, like P{u00E9}tain and others who 

benefitted from the occupation. It too had French Jews who were persecuted, with

the active support of P{u00E9}tain's government. Amidst it all, emerged a 

leader in exile in London, Charles de Gaulle. As the Allies advanced, following 

their success in Normandy, the French Resistance planned its own attacks, with 

the help of Allied dropped weapons. German responses were swift and harsh; but

Continues with the story of the Allies' progress on the Western Front. Details 

Montgomery's ambitious plan for ending the war; and how and why the mission 

failed. The Allied forces were to advance north, to Arnhem and the Ardennes, 

including an air-borne landing in Holland, onto the German border, across the 

north German plain, cross the Rhine and eventually Berlin. The mission was a 

complete disaster, due to bad luck and over-confidence. The Allies changed 

strategy and advanced on the German border on a broad front. They captured 

Aachen, with Cologne next in sight. In October, 1944, the American forces 

reached the secret line, but made the mistake of turning south into the 

H{u00FC}rtgen Forest, where they were lost and trapped in the horrors of a two- 

month long fighting in the forest. 

Then, in December 1944, Hitler launched a second blitz, this time on the west 

coast; and it seemed to be working, initially. Meanwhile, the Allies' progress 

was hampered by bad weather, American retreat, and the infiltration of English- 

speaking German paratroopers. Eventually, the Allies gained the upper hand, 

inflicting losses on Hitler's army and ending Hitler's dream of success, a 

second time. Following their defeat at Bastogne, the German attack collapsed 

across the entire front, within a week. Victory was in sight for the Allies, 

after a much longer and bloodier warfare than expected. They held their position 

and advanced very quickly to the Rhine towards Berlin, over 700 kilometres away. 

A retelling which interweaves revisits to the scenes of actions, aerial maps 

showing Allied battle strategies, and personal narratives of participants in the 

campaigns. Includes selected footage from newsreels and from the American, 

British and German archives. Includes also personal recalls of events as they 

unfolded, by local residents of the region.

Created by Guido Knopp ; editor, Marc Nordbruch ; music, Peter Richter ; English

The 'Final act' recontructs the final stages of the Allied campaigns on the 

Western Front, between March and May 1945. Close footage of the progress made by 

various divisions of the Allied forces. First, the U.S. forces, on 7th March, 

successfully crossed the Rhine, via an intact Remagen bridge. They then 

stabilised their bridge head. By then, remnants of the collapsed German army 

were retreating, and much of the country in ruins. Almost all the west bank of 

the Rhine was now in Allied hands.The German defences were smashed. For anything 

which went wrong, Hitler found scapegoats and summarily executed them. There was 

last ditch resistance by fanatical Hitler Youths, wielding Nazis propaganda. 

Hitler issued his 'Nero decree' to prevent Germany's industrial infrastructure

from falling into Allied hands. 

Montgomery's strategy for an assault on the Reich went according to plan, 

meeting with little resistance. His men caught up with the U.S. troops, near 

Remagen. Together they broke through the German front and crossed the Rhine. 

Once across the Rhine, the British, Americans and Canadians rapidly encircled 

the Ruhr, the industrial heartland. The weakened and demoralised German army 

kept fighting out of patrioticism, allegiance, sense of duty and inertia. Berlin 

was deserted, a ghost town; and in the Ruhr pocket, the war was over. But Hitler, 

bunkered beneath the vice-chancellery, still insisted on not giving up. He was a 

sick man, suffering from Parkinson's disease, and by early May he was dead. 

Includes the last camera footage of Hitler, shot on 19th March, 1945. For many 

German soldiers, the end came and whole battalions gave up the fight, 

surrendering to the Americans. By 16th April, the army was disbanded and German 

soldiers laid down their weapons and became P.O.Ws. The Germans were defeated, 

but relieved that the nightmare was over. 

As they advanced, the triumphant Allied troops liberated concentration camps, 

uncovering unbelieveable atrocities. They also liberated over three million 

foreign forced labourers and P.O.Ws. On 25th April 1945, Soviet and American 

soldiers linked up near the River Elbe, to celebrate the meeting of the Western 

Front with the East. A visual, involved narrative, which interweaves revisits to 

the scenes of actions, aerial maps showing Allied battle strategies, and 

personal narratives of participants in the planning and execution of the 

campaigns. Includes selected footage from newsreels and from the American, 

British and German archives. Includes also personal accounts of events as they 

unfolded by those caught up in it.

A reconstruction of the Soviet assault on East Prussia, the German eastern 

front; and German efforts to hold them back. The Red Army major offensive began 

in June 1944, advancing rapidly. By October, they were well inside Eastern 

Prussia. There was a brief lull in November. Then, on 12th January, 1945, the 

Russian attack on Hitler's Reich began, with a superiority of twenty to one. The 

Red Army advanced on a broad front, capturing important cities. The ban on 

fleeing was lifted, and in the scramble to escape, over a million civilians, 

mostly women, children and the elderly, paid dearly for the crimes of Hitler's 

Reich. 

Most significantly, K{u00F6}nigsberg, after being reduced to rubble, surrendered 

to Stalin on 27th April. For the people trapped in the city, it was a time of 

great suffering, as the Red Army continued to vent its hatred and revenge on all 

Germans for Nazi war atrocities. Sixty years on, the memories are still there, 

though the hate is gone, and hope remains. A far reaching outome is that old 

East Prussia no longer exists, and its former royal captial is now a Russian 

city, Kaliningrad. Its people have found new homelands. 

Recreation of the battle scenes, with aerial maps showing the German eastern 

front, the Baltic and Atlantic fronts, escape routes to the west, and Red Army 

advance. The story draws on personal narratives of participants of the war, 

experiences of civilians caught up in it, and selected footage from the 

newsreels and from the German, Polish and Russian national archives.

Footage of the Soviet 'blitz' at the heart of the Third Reich, which began in 

January, 1945. Berlin, their ultimate goal, was just 200 kilometres away. The

Russian front successfully pushed on to the border of the Reich. Soon, they were 

on the Oder front, where they built up a gigantic force. Cities in the Red 

Army's path fell, such as K{u00F6}slin, Breslau and Kolberg, which were 

completely destroyed. Includes selected archival footage of the scramble of 

refugees to evacuate from Kolberg, before it surrendered on 18th March 1945. 

Soviet soldiers had learnt from the Germans, and were doing exactly what the 

Germans did in 1941. It was the time for revenge and reprisals. Now German 

cities were burning and innocent German civilians were suffering, just as 

innocent Russians once suffered. 'The Russians are coming!' became a cry of 

terror on the Eastern Front. German propaganda still promised victory; and that 

the F{u00FC}hrer would get them out. Hitler still insisted that they could never 

surrender voluntarily. Goebbels masterminded Nazi propaganda to raise false 

hopes and play on the fears of the people. 

Recreation of the battle scenes, and newsreel coverage of the last days of 

Kolberg. Includes aerial maps showing the German Oder front, and Red Army 

advance. Interweaves personal narratives of participants of the war, experiences 

of civilians caught up in it with selected footage from the newsreels and

they were able to forgive and forget, with time.

Footage of the rapid Red Army advance onto the German eastern front, capturing 

the easternmost territories; then steady progress onto the Elbe front; and 

finally the prize, Berlin. On 1st May, Labour Day, the Red Flag was flying over 

the Reichstag; and Hitler was dead. In the process, the Red Army wreaked havoc 

on the land and its people, revenge and reprisals for the Nazi blitz on Russia 

in 1941. Hitler's and his commanders' fanatical insistence on not surrendering, 

as their fronts and army collapsed in the face of the Red Army assault, was a 

hopeless denial of the truth.

A recount of the collapse of Hitler's last army, which was depleted and 

exhausted, after over five years' war. At the height of the Red Army threat, the 

front was held by inexperienced child soldiers. By February 1945, the Russians 

were well-established on the Oder front, readying themselves for a major assault 

on Berlin, just 60 kilometres away. Both Hitler and Goebbels still insisted on 

holding and defending the Oder Front at all cost, resorting to newsreel 

propaganda to put on a show of confidence. Stalin's dateline of 16th April for 

the offensive, and capture of Berlin by 1st May, went according to plan, using 

superior armed forces. The German army was finished, though newsreel propaganda 

depicted otherwise. The end came on 1st May, when the remnants of Hitler's army 

headed west towards the Elbe, with civilians in tow, to surrender to the 

Americans, hoping for better treatment. Many others were killed or captured and 

sent to Siberia; while scores were reported missing in action. 

Draws on newsreels and selected archival footage to recreate the battle scenes, 

showing the conditions of the German army, in contrast to the Red Army. Footage 

also of the destruction of Berlin and its inhabitants, in its dying days. 

Includes aerial maps showing the German Oder front, and Red Army advance. The 

story draws also on personal narratives of participants of the war, experiences 

of civilians caught up in it. With 60 years of peace, survivors now lead normal 

lives, and are able to forgive and forget, with time.

This final episode begins with events in the dying hours of 30th April, for 

Berlin, as Mikhail Petr Minnin recounts how he and his four comrades stormed the 

Reichstag and raised the Red flag, high above it. As Stalin had demanded it, by 

1st May, Labour Day, the Red flag was flying over the Reichstag. As the Russians 

entered Berlin, in the final week of April, hastily trained German home-guards 

formed the last line of defence, hopelessly, against the Soviet onslaught. Once 

in the city, Soviet troops continuously shelled it, reducing it to rubble. Over 

three million civilians were caught in the crossfire and trying to survive. 

With the apocalypse upon them, many Germans realised that the war was lost, and 

could not understand why Goebbels and Hitler still insisted on not surrendering. 

In the city centre as the fighting continued, in many suburbs, the post-war 

period had begun, with the victors taking the first steps towards co-existence. 

On 2nd May, with Germany's formal surrender, it meant victory for Russia. By 

then, Hitler had been dead for two days. Thousands were taken prisoners and many 

disappeared forever. The provisional administration worked to restore the city's 

vital functions and feed its starving people. Berliners were happy that the war 

was over and they were still alive. The Soviet officers worked to present a 

better image of themselves to the Germans. 

Draws on newsreels and selected archival footage to reconstruct the fierce and 

bloody fighting in the Berlin streets. Includes graphic images of the 

destruction of Berlin and its civilians, and the conditions of survivors. Aerial 

maps show the city and locate the Soviet advance within it. The story draws also 

on personal narratives of participants of the war, experiences of civilians 

caught up in it. With sixty years of peace, survivors now lead normal lives, 

and are able to forgive and forget, with time.

"A Juniper Production for Channel 4 Television Corporation." 

Narrator, Brenda Blethyn. 

When the plague struck London in 1665, it was almost apocalyptic, wiping out one 

third of the population. This program dramatically presents the history of 

bubonic plague and its two variants, pneumonic and septicemic plague (The Black 

Death) as it was called in the 14th century. Reenactments based on recently 

discovered documents chronicle the grim attrition of one family, while scholars 

comment on the living conditions and ill-fated civic precautions of London. 

Health experts voice fears about the very threat of the epidemic's return.

fifteen years after that historic event. Presents another perspective to the 

history of the East German state, different from that learnt by people, second- 

hand, through films, such as Good Bye, Lenin! 'Life behind the wall' features 

new sources of previously unreleased footage, including amateurs' films, 

photographs and documents which show a very different image of the German 

Democratic Republic. The film is the work of a team of young authors, directors 

and scientists from both east and west Germany, who seek to portray, candidly, 

what forty years of life was like under socialism and behind the Berlin wall.

Narrators, Reg E. Cathey, Tim Hopper ; includes a film cast of Mongolian 

nationals. 

Presents a narrative of the life and times of Genghis Khan, based on the secret 

history of the Mongols, which was apparently begun by Genghis Khan's adopted son, 

shortly after his death, in praise of him. It begins with his portentous birth 

around the middle of the 12th century, son to a powerful Mongolian general and 

given the name, Tamerjen. He is destined to be a great warrior, the shaman 

predicts. A carefree childhood ends, at nine years of age, with his father's 

death. Tamerjen and his family are on the run from his father's enemies, who 

finally capture and enslave him. The chronicler records that Tamerjen escapes, 

but he leaves big gaps, lost years in Genghis Khan's young life. The story 

resumes with his emergence as an imposing young man, commander of a small army 

of Mongolian warriors, who quickly swell to a powerful force. Under Genghis Khan, 

they begin their career by vanquishing surrounding tribal enemies. They proceed 

to take on the world, like an apocalypse unleashed. In 1206, at age 44, Tamerjen 

is proclaimed the supreme commander and khan of all Mongols; and given the title, 

Genghis Khan, the Impetuous Ruler. In 1226, Genghis Khan dies of his wounds, 

sustained from a fall off his horse. The site of his remains has been 

obliterated, but the legend of Genghis Khan still lives. His sons and successors 

extend the borders of their realm to include the nations of Asia, the Middle

East, Europe and Russia. Includes selected footage of a film recreation of the 

story of his life and legacy. Features also Mongol camp life in times of peace; 

their social and cultural norms; and the landscape which help shape their ways 

of life.

overthrow of the 400-year-old Manchu Dynasty, the internal struggle for power in 

China between the new Republican Government and medieval warlords, the invasion 

of China by the Japanese, and the mounting struggle between Chiang Kai Shek and 

the communists, in one of the bloodiest civil wars in history.

[1999]. 

Recorded off-air from ABC-TV 6 October, 1999. Broadcast as part of Lateline 

program. 

Presenter: Tony Jones. 

It is fifty years since the Communists raised their flag over Tiananmen Square. 

China has since been engaged in a process of economic reform but some are saying 

that economic reform is progressing too slowly and that political reform is long 

overdue. In view of this some of the questions posed by this program are whether 

China is capable of becoming a global leader while it still has internal 

problems or will it remain an unhappy power in the wings. Studio guests: 

Professor Dali Young, Chinese Politics, University of Chicago ; Orville Schell, 

author of 'Mandate of Heaven' ; Professor Bill Jenner, China Studies, ANU.

Part two of the documentary, Japan in ruins, looks at recent Japanese desire to 

know and understand this pre-war to post-war period. It examines the immediate 

aftermath of the war and the rebuilding period. The Japanese are now beginning 

to question themselves on issues relating to foreign occupation, and the 

national silence surrounding the 15 years of conflict. There was a gradual 

repatriation of 6.5 million civilians and military personnel dispersed over the 

former occupied territories, amidst devastation of most cities. This is also a 

study of the state of Japanese society after 15 years of war; and describes its 

rebuilding on an individual, as well as a collective scale. Features the story 

of several families who were reunited, through the efforts of the Japanese radio 

program 'Missing Persons'. Includes selected footage from the film archives and

RAISING THE VEIL [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCER, BILL TREHARNE JONES. 

Remarkable changes are taking place in Iran, a country notorius for its Islamic 

militancy. Iran's younger generation demand more freedom; rising tension between 

the young and the hardline clerical leadership has resulted in over a hundred 

murders of opposition intellectuals, and the closing down of newspapers for 

being unIslamic. Looks at life in Tehran, and the growing role of women in the 

professions; 1/3 of alldoctors , 60% of civil servants and 80% of teachers are 

now women.

Editor, Deborah Palloway. 

Narrator, Ted Biggs. 

This is a journey inside Hamas, one of the world's most secretive and 

controversial political organisations. Shot during 2004 and 2005, the film 

documents Hamas at a transformative period, on its way to becoming a political 

power with much more influence than the gun. It examines how Hamas turned the 

once secular struggle for Palestine into a religiously motivated Jihad. Draws a 

portrait of a starkly resilient group, which though targetted and attacked, 

keeps growing. It now looms as a major political force. Their popularity in 

Palestine continues growing, partly because of their extensive social network, 

and partly because their armed resistance appealed most when public desperation 

was highest. On the world front, Hamas has become the main player in any real 

and meaningful peace prospects. As the organisation enters the political arena, 

the members face a strategic question of whether to play inside the box. Looks

at the people behind the stereo-typed terrorist mask, presently a major force in 

shaping the future of a Palestinian state and an end to the eternal Middle 

Eastern conflict. Includes interviews with leaders in hiding, militants and 

activists; as well as, with Israeli experts and victims for comments and views.

episode 3. Sharon / producer/director/composer, Dan Edge ; film editor, Sally

Middle team producer, Nava Mizrahi. 

Narrator, Juliet Stevenson. 

A three-part documentary on the history of the Arab-Israeli peace process. The 

story is told by the key players on all sides, from the US Secretary of State, 

Madeline Albright and US President Bill Clinton, to Palestinian leader Yasser 

Arafat and Israeli Prime Ministers Ehud Barak and Ariel Sharon, plus their 

advisors, generals and ministers, as well as organisers of suicide bombings and 

assassinations. Presented through a mix of archival footage and interviews with 

the above personalities. Elusive peace follows the agonising negotiations 

between Israel and the Palestinians since 1999, as a shaky truce spirals into 

violence. The series reveals what happened behind closed doors as the peace 

process failed and the violence of the intifada exploded. 

Episode one, Clinton, examines how Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak tries to 

negotiate peace with Syria; and then, at Camp David, under President Clinton's 

eye, with Yasser Arafat. Barak persuaded Clinton to devote his last 18 months in 

office to helping make peace with Arafat. But, Barak pulled out twice. Then 

Ariel Sharon took a walk around Jerusalem's holiest mosques, and decided peace 

was impossible. Episode 2, Arafat, tells the story of how Israel set out to 

defeat Yasser Arafat, and to wipe him off the international stage forever. 

Investigates Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's response to a Passover 

suicide bombing, which launched Operation Defensive Shield against the 

Palestinians. The operation did not end until President Yasser Arafat's compound 

lay in ruins. When Sharon took over, the intifada escalated as his government 

proceeded to take out Arafat's guerrilla leaders one by one. 

Episode 3, Sharon, tells how Ariel Sharon sets out to destroy his Palestinian 

enemies, and secure the backing of the most powerful man in the world for his 

every move. It is about the birth and death of President Bush's 'Road Map to 

Peace'. Then, with the death of Yasser Arafat everything has changed, and an 

Arab-Israeli peace deal remains elusive.

precision technology. Demonstrates how the conventional enemy adapts to superior 

force and how factors such as organized rebellion, terrorism, the continuation 

of an underground war, and the underestimation of cultural factors serve to 

undermine the perfect ending for the war fought with precision technology.

Journalists are now the main target of violence in Iraq. This film examines how

The Iranian-Canadian documentary filmmaker and news correspondent, Maziar Bahari

influences their work. Correspondent Hannah Allam explains the extent to which 

violence has affected her life. Her interpreter's family was murdered and a 

colleague was shot at an American checkpoint. But, Hannah continues with her

Warning. 

Editor, Rob Wright ; researchers, Farah Dakhlallah, Masha Regka. 

Narrator, Jay O. Sanders. 

A documentary on the current political situation in Lebanon, following the 

formation of a popular movement, which forced the withdrawal of Syrian troops. 

The assassination of Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, in February 2005, prompted 

thousands of Lebanese to take to the streets in a powerful show of national 

unity, dubbed the 'Cedar Revolution'. Features interviews with democracy 

advocates who organised the popular sit-in staged in Martyr's Square in Beirut, 

and a youth organiser for the Future Youth Association headed by Rafic Hariri's 

son Saad. The withdrawal of Syrian forces did not end the assassination of anti- 

Syrian figures. During the filming of the documentary, a leading opposition 

journalist and campaigner against the Syrians is blown up before the second 

round of parliamentary elections. Then, two days after the final vote, another 

anti-Syrian politician is killed by a car bomb.

Story of one of the most significant battles in the history of the Israeli- 

Palestinian conflict - the attack on the Jenin refugee camp in April 2002, known 

as "Operation Defensive Shield" - told by those who were participants - the 

Israeli army and the Palestinian jihadi. Israel's closure of the area to the 

local and international press at the time created an unprecedented wave of 

rumours, disinformation and tension. Now, those involved present their 

previously unheard accounts - from Israeli officers and soldiers in both the 

infantry and armoured divisions, to Palestinian commanders who fought for days 

under heavy fire, to the refugees in Jenin.

HAMAS RISES FROM THE RUBBLE [VIDEORECORDING]. 



Title from television transcript. 

Reporter, Matthew Carney. 

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon says Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority 

must be reformed, as a condition of any resumption of peace talks. In a tough 

speech to the Israeli parliament, Mr Sharon said "there can be no peace with a 

corrupt terror regime which is rotten and dictatorial." But that may turn out to 

be academic, with the radical Hamas organisation poised to supplant the current 

Palestinian leadership. Just as Ariel Sharon's Likud party refuses to accept a 

separate Palestinian state, Hamas is determined to wipe Israel out. Tonight, 

Matthew Carney goes inside Hamas to meet its leaders, whose power seems to grow 

with each suicide attack.

Editor, Karen O'Connor ; research, Elan Carter. 

Narrator, Ian Curtis. 

Documents the withdrawal of Israeli settlers from the Gaza Strip, as planned by 

Israeli P.M. Ariel Sharon. For, disengagement of the Gaza Strip from Israel 

means removing a major obstacle from any future peace agreement between Israel 

and Palestine. Some settlers agreed to leave, while others were removed by 

force. In August 2005, the Israeli government handed over the Israeli controlled 

areas of the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Authority. Eight thousand Jewish 

settlers are forced to leave their homes in the Gaza Strip and relocate to 

Israel. But some, totally opposed to Sharon's plan, are determined to stay and 

are fighting back. The Yizhakis family are amongst those 8,000 who will be 

forced to leave their homes and relocate to Israel. The filming of this 

documentary began in March 2004, before the implementation of Sharon's plan to 

pull out of Gaza. As this withdrawal became a reality, Arik and Dayta Yizhaki, 

who refused to leave, became politically active and turned into two of the most 

passionate advocates of the settler's struggle. The film chronicles the painful 

and dramatic process of abandoning one's home and follows the fascinating 

transformation of two working class Israelis into the leaders of a political 

movement. Includes interviews with the Yizhakis family, and also selected 

footage from Datya Yizhakis's video diary.

In 2001, as the bombs began to drop, George W. Bush promised Afghanistan "the

regaining power, religious fundamentalism is renewing its grip and military 

skirmishes continue routinely. In "liberated" Afghanistan, America has its 

military base and pipeline access, while the people have the warlords who are, 

says one woman, "in many ways worse than the Taliban."

Just before the military dictatorship arrested her yet again recently, Aung San 

Suu Kyi spoke out in a rare and unauthorised interview. That interview is the 

heart of this program, which also chronicles her 15-year battle to bring 

democracy to Burma. Aung San Suu Kyi is one of the best known political 

prisoners in the world. She insists her followers use non-violent civil 

disobedience as their only weapon - a tactic that helped earn her a Nobel Peace 

Prize in 1991. Now she again dominates the headlines that have chronicled her 

life since 1988, when she unwillingly left her family in Britain to go home to 

Burma and take up her father's fight for freedom and democracy.

'A BBC/Discovery Channel co-production.' 


Warning. 

Editor, John Farren. 

Narrator, Michael Praed. 

A documentary on the genocide of more than two million Cambodians, between 1975 

and 1978; and the man behind the atrocities. The story began in March 1974, when 

the Khmer Rouge took over the old capital Odongk. Cambodia was closed to the 

world, then; and no true record was filmed of Pol Pot's new society. The Khmer 

rouge systematically destroyed all symbols which represented the modern and 

civilised world. They used hunger and terror to control every aspect of the 

population's lives. Opponents of the ultimate aim of restoring Cambodia's 

greatness were deemed enemies of the state and dealt with accordingly. 

Draws on Pol Pot's own words, the testimony of those who knew him well and 

survivor accounts, to tell the story of his journey to the killing fields. In an 

interview, in 1997, shortly before his death, Pol Pot spoke of the revolution 

and of his childhood. Includes selected archival footage of the key events of 

those years. Includes also, interviews with Party leaders, Khmer Rouge 

commanders, and Phnom Pen residents, who gave eyewitness accounts of life under 

the regime.

PAUL FONTEYN, RICHARD CAPANS ; DIRECTOR, CLAUDE GRUNSPAN. 



Narrator, Diana Brown. 

Five of the few surviving Vietnamese cameramen/soldiers who filmed in combat 

during French Colonial and the American wars against Vietnam between 1947 and 

1975, tell of their experiences. The footage they shot formed the basis for a 

cinema of propaganda in Vietnam. To protect their film stock from humidity they 

used grilled rice. Two veterans of the French/Indochine war tell of acquiring 

the first cameras and instruction manuals made available to soldiers, while a 

travelling projectionist during both wars recalls the Vietnamese public's 

reaction to the films he screened. Two other cameramen who have continued to 

work as documentary makers describe the hardship and fear they faced in combat 

and during the American bombings. For all the men 'to make propaganda was 

obvious' yet in retrospect they lament their lack of critical historical 

awareness.

INDEPENDENCE DAY [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCER, LINDA CARROLL. 



Reporter, Chris Masters. 

Three months ago Indonesia brought down the curtain on south-east Asia's most 

brutal and unrelenting conflict - the clash with separatist rebels in resource- 

rich Aceh province. Martial law was declared and foreign media severely

estricted. In those three months about 700 people have been killed in a fierce 

military crackdown. That's more than the number of people killed by terrorist 

bombs around the world this year. In 27 years some 12,000 people - civilians, 

separatist guerillas and soldiers - have died in Aceh. Indonesia's special 

forces, the TNI faces continuing allegations of systemic brutality - murder, 

rape, torture and destruction of property. As Indonesia celebrates 58 years of 

independence, Four Corners looks at the fight many Acehnese are waging to win 

their own independence, and at Jakarta's response. Reporter Chris Masters 

explores the origins of the Aceh conflict and the dangers it presents to 

Indonesian unity and to Indonesians' human rights.

Co-producer & cinematographer, Catherine Marcinida ; editor, Andrew Barnes ; 

researcher, Francoise Fombertaux.

Presenter, Geraldine Doogue. 

After 24 years of extreme violence during the military occupation, in 1999 the 

people of East Timor voted for independence. But, peace eluded them, and they 

suffer some of the worst atrocities in modern times from pro-Indonesian groups. 

A three-week rampage resulted in 60,000 houses being burnt to the ground and 

numerous crimes against humanity such as murder, rape and torture. Since then, 

the world's newest nation has been picking up the pieces and building a future. 

To do so it has to face its brutal past, and ask itself how much pain and 

bitterness it can let go in order to thrive. 

For the past four years, Australian lawyer, Patrick Burgess has been working 

with East Timor's Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation, attempting 

to mend relationships in a traumatised nation. Together they travel the country, 

facilitating community hearings, where perpetrators of crimes are brought face 

to face with their victims and community members, who determine whether the 

offenders should be punished or rehabilitated into the community. Documents one 

such difficult case, in which a policeman, in 1999, arrested a youth, who 

subsequently disappeared after being taken from his cell by the militia, most 

likely killed. The boy's parents and the community hold the officer responsible. 

Unfortunately, those responsible for the worst of the violence may never face 

judgement. Includes selected archival media footage, and interviews for 

comments.

between a foreign investment boom and police strike-breakers, between Australian

Th{u00E9}ophile Moussa Sowie, Andr{u00E9} Debaar. 

A film dramatisation of the life of Congolese revolutionary, Patrice Lumumba, 

who led his country to independence from Belgium in 1960. He served for less 

than a year as the first elected prime minister of the newly-independent nation 

of the Congo. He was brutally assassinated, after just two months in office. He 

was the hero of the Congo resistance, the Congolese National Movement. One night, 

soon after his ascension to power, two Belgian soldiers hacked him to pieces. 

Lumumba's place was taken by his former private secretary, Joseph Mobutu (Alex 

Descas), who was to impose his dictatorship for more than 30 years. He also 

reportedly amassed a personal fortune of billions, squandered from the country's 

export earnings and Western aid. This film portrays a fascinating picture of the 

charismatic Lumumba, and the private and political events that led to his 

murder. Includes selected archival footage which gives the historical background 

to the political situation in the former Belgian colony.

"For 15 years, villages across northern Uganda have been terrorised by the 

Lord's Resistance Army, a fundamentalist Christian force that kidnaps children 

and turns them into fanatical young soldiers. This largely hidden civil war has 

even pitted those children against their own families. Efforts to end the 

conflict have failed because the LRA has been able to slip back and forth across 

the border into Sudan. But September 11 changed all that. The LRA is now on the 

US list of terrorist organisations and the Sudanese Government has been forced 

to evict them."

SOMALIA [VIDEORECORDING]. 




Nominated for the Media Peace Awards, 1992/93. 


Warning. 

Presenter, George Negus ; reporter, Thom Cookes (SBS TV) and Issa Farah (SBS 

Radio). 

Somalia presents the all too familiar, shocking images of famine and anarchy. It 

has no government for the last 14 years; and it is a country which has virtually 

ceased to exist. There have been attempts to restore civil order after all those 

years of civil war. But, within Somalia there seemed to be few people interested 

in the return to peace. While outside Somalia, few people seemed to care. The 

international community has virtually relegated Somalia to the too-hard basket. 

Now it is a security risk, as well. Reporters, Thom Cookes and Issa Farah were 

in Somalia recently, to assess the chances of peace being restored, after 14 

years of anarchy. They are also looking at any attempt to get the country a 

vaguely recognisable government. But, without a drastic change in approach, it 

is difficult to see a functioning government on the horizon. While reporting, 

Thom Cookes is evacuated when rival militias declare war on the temporary 

capital, Jowhar.

The Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia is home to the most remote and secretive 

US military base in the world. Built in the mid-'70s, it houses B-52s and other 

aircraft used in the Gulf War and, most recently, in Afghanistan. It is also the 

site of a US-British conspiracy. Long before the base was built, Diego Garcia 

was home to a thriving community. Britain, who controlled the island, and the 

United States, who wanted it, covertly banished the local population. Those 

locals are Chagossians. Now they are fighting for justice, and a return to their

their violent oppression and unabated exploitation by occupying 5 towns and 

nearly 500 farms. Nearly 3 years later, Nettie Wild spent eight months

When the Civil War ended in 1865, more than 4 million slaves were set free. By 

the late 1930's, 100,000 former slaves were still alive. In the midst of the 

Great Depression, journalists and writers traveled the country to record the 

memories of the last generation of African-Americans born into bondage. Over 2, 

000 interviews were transcribed as spoken, in the vernacular of the time, to 

form a unique historical record. Presented here are dramatic readings from these 

narratives, bringing to life the pride and spirit of those born into slavery.

Presenter, Richard Holmes. 

This film uses reconstruction, eye-witness accounts, original documents and 

paintings to explore the years of the American Revolution. Pt. 1 sees America 

split over whether to break with Britain or to stay loyal to the crown. Pt. 2 

begins with Washington being forced out of New York. His army begins to desert 

him, until a daring raid across a frozen river gives him victory at Trenton. In 

Pt. 3 the British open a new front in the southern colonies. Thousands of 

African Americans join the British in the expectation of freedom. The war in the 

south is an untold story. It becomes a savage war of partisans, border raids and 

guerilla style skirmishing. In Pt. 4 the British have enjoyed command of the sea, 

and with it the ability to move thousands of troops to wherever they are needed. 

But an extraordinary naval blunder allows the French fleet to isolate a large 

British garrison at Yorktown. Surrender is inevitable giving overall victory to 

Washington and his French allies.

split over whether to break with Britain or to stay loyal to the crown. Pt. 2 

begins with Washington being forced out of New York. His army begins to desert 

him, until a daring raid across a frozen river gives him victory at Trenton. In 

Pt. 3 the British open a new front in the southern colonies. Thousands of 

African Americans join the British in the expectation of freedom. The war in the 

south is an untold story. It becomes a savage war of partisans, border raids and 

guerilla style skirmishing. In Pt. 4 the British have enjoyed command of the sea, 

and with it the ability to move thousands of troops to wherever they are needed. 

But an extraordinary naval blunder allows the French fleet to isolate a large 

British garrison at Yorktown. Surrender is inevitable giving overall victory to 

Washington and his French allies.

Executive producers, Calvin Skaggs, Charles Schuerhoff. 

Narrator, Ritchie Coster. 

A two part documentary, which draws on archival footage and current interviews 

with key figures in the movement to chronicle the involvement of conservative 

Evangelical Christians in U.S. political and social issues, from the 1950s to 

2000s. It links the ascendency of George W. Bush to the rise of the religious 

right. Discusses the impact of conservative Christians on U.S. post-war

politics. Examines the scope of this still-growing movement through examples of 

Christian broadcasting, recording and publishing; and assesses the impact of 

this self-nurturing American subculture. The conflicts which the evangelical 

movement have generated within the Christian community are also examined. 

Includes selected footage of the war on terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq, a 

'crusade' in the name of freedom and peace. 

Part 2 focusses on Bush's presidency, highlighting the presidential election in 

2000 and his inaugural address. The Evangelicals could, finally, elect a 

president who shares their faith and conservative political views, after a list 

of predecessors who had failed them, over the past three decades. Bush, 'an 

authentic Evangelical', takes his faith into the White House, and is seen as a 

Christian crusader by the conservatives. He talks a lot about faith and invokes 

the name of God. These aspects cause concern to many, within and outside the 

U.S., because the distinction between civic morals and theology becomes lost.

BOB KENNEDY [VIDEORECORDING] :THE MAN WHO WANTED TO CHANGE AMERICA / DIRECTED 

BY 

PATRICK JEUDY. 




Robert Kennedy had dreams to change the destiny of America and perhaps he would 

have achieved this if he'd been given more time. He had realised early on in his 

life that his role was to help his brother John become President of the United 

States. Bobby laid the foundation for his brother's success by winning over 

working-class America and destroying all those who got in his way. He was to be 

the uncompromising heavy hitter behind his brother and as time went on, he 

became obsessed with organised crime and hunting down the mob. But behind his 

abrupt manners and harsh appearance lay a man with principles and deep-rooted

convictions. Slowly he worked towards a new goal, a seat in the New York senate 

and then, the Presidency. He had united the country behind him and felt he had 

finally become his own man when he too was shot.

Narrator, Stockard Channing. 

Explores how John F. Kennedy charmed the world and changed politics forever by 

using the mass media of photography and TV. The Kennedys helped usher in a youth 

culture that affected every aspect of American life. The Kennedys actively 

sought to create an image of the perfect American family and used television to 

do this, while behind the scenes, there was a very different picture. As much as 

the mass media helped Kennedy, it also created intense pressure, as the 

activities and decisions of the White House were scrutinised and questioned 

daily.

Pt. 1 -- pt. 2. 

Two part series featuring interviews with US officials, CIA operatives, US 

journalists and prominent figures of the post-September 11 political landscape 

creates a disturbing portrait of President George W. Bush. The interviews reveal 

that Bush and his administration are committed representatives of the Christian 

Right. After 9 months in power and still with no defined political programme, 

George W. Bush found in September 11 the best pretext for declaring war on Iraq

and terrorism and for taking on a mission of a lifetime. Himself a radical 

reborn Christian, a neo-conservative and supportive of Zionist policy, Bush and 

his operation would definitely serve Israel and settle the USA as controller in 

the Arab Middle East. Yet to justify his move and get the American people's 

approval, the Bush government had to implicate - and discredit - United Nations 

members, political experts, journalists and diplomats alike all around the 

Western world.

Co-producer, Mark Chapman ; editor & script editor, Michael Baison ; director of

Narrator, Lydia Millar ; voice of Leandro, Serge Lazareff. 

A recreation of the life-story of Leandro and Kitty by their descendants. 

Includes the reading of excerpts from the letters of Leandro and Nikolai Illin. 

Includes also selected archival footage. This two-part story is about Leandro 

Illin, a Russian immigrant and Kitty Clarke, a Ngadjon woman and traditional 

landowner. Leandro was 28 when he met Kitty, a 20-year-old widow with three 

children. When their relationship produced a child, Leandro applied to marry 

Kitty, but the Protector of Aborigines refused permission and instead sent 

police to remove her and her children. Unable to bear a separation, Leandro and 

Kitty took off into the wild where they were protected from the police by the 

Aboriginal people. Eventually, Leandro confronted the Queensland Premier at a 

railway station, demanding permission to marry Kitty. 

The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 brought a wave of xenophobia to Australia. 

After the backlash from the Brisbane Red Flag riots, many of the Illin family 

left for South America. But the law of the early 20th century prevented full- 

blood Aborigines from travelling. Thus Leandro remained behind with Kitty and 

their children. Disillusioned, Leandro withdrew to a remote outback location, 

taking his family with him. For Kitty, the journey saw her removed from her 

traditional land and people. 

Tragedy struck when Kitty, isolated and far from medical assistance, died after 

enduring a complicated birth. With his wife and newborn child dead, Leandro 

moved the family closer to civilisation, at Greenvale station. Here, he threw 

himself into helping the dozens of Aboriginal people on the property. As friend 

and confidant, Leandro, among other things, wrangled with the local police in 

order to retrieve wages ostensibly withheld for their {u201C}protection{u201D}. 

As his children grew up, Leandro moved them into town where they could go to 

school. When the Second World War broke out, four of his sons joined the 

Australian army. Leandro died in 1946, but his ideals of {u201C}truth, justice 

and equality{u201D} were passed on to his son-in-law, Dick Hoolihan, who shared 

those values with Eddie Mabo when they founded the Aboriginal Advancement 

League. In 1998, Kitty{u02BC}s people, the Ngadjon people, won back the rights 

to their traditional land. Today, there are 200 descendants of Leandro and 

Kitty. Many are leaders in their communities and tireless fighters for human 

rights.

After 5 weeks as early 19th century settlers, in the isolated valley,

clan leave them to their bickering; and revolution is in the air. Footage of the 

colonists' first communal project and how it contributes to tension; and of 

their house-building, farming and trading endeavours. References to the Irish 

convicts' rebellion, which leads to the proclamation of marshal law throughout 

the Hawkesbury region. In defiance, the Hurleys raise their national flag, while 

the Hohnkes raise the Eureka flag (an anachronism acknowledged) and that of the 

aboriginal nation. Interpreting this as a sign of dissent, the colonial 

authorities send the Redcoats to apprehend Maurice Hurley and Kerry Hohnke, on 

charges of sedition. In addition, the families have to contend with weather 

extremes and modern-day 'fire-ban'. Includes references to early 19th century

In this history project, four modern-day families discard the trappings of 21st 

century life, to undertake the challenges of reliving life as settlers of the 

Australian colony of 1800, for 4 months in an isolated valley. The historical 

colony was a world of diverse culture, class and raw power. Accordingly, the 

families have been chosen to match the social fabric of the early 1800s. They 

include an English family from Yorkshire; an Irish family from Dublin; an

Australian family from Tasmania; and an aboriginal clan from the N.E. coast of 

Australia. As in history, the European families have been allocated basic 

government supplies and convict servants. They must supplement all other needs, 

and face hardship, history and each other. While the aboriginal clan must fend 

for themselves, in their own way. The families begin their adventure with 

different hopes and dreams. It will be known only towards the end how well the 

families and their convicts fare on the frontier.

The four modern-day families are now into the eighth week of life as colonists. 

The three European families have settled well into the frontier life of the 

1800s. They have built themselves houses, cultivated crops, raised animals and 

sold their produce. Kerry Hohnke and Maurice Hurley are released and return home, 

after a night in gaol and appearing in court, for minor rebellion. Features the 

'annual muster', the census day of 200 years ago. These 21st century families 

have 4 weeks to prepare their farms for inspection on muster day. Meanwhile, 

after 9 weeks, one convict is given his freedom and land of his own. Without 

warning, the aboriginal clan return to the valley, after 6 weeks, following the 

seasonal food cycles. They are not invited to the muster festivities, because 

historically the Aborigines, though regarded as citizens, do not enjoy similar 

rights. Includes references to early 19th century events recreated in the 

replicate colony to closely match historical facts.

Editor, Chris Johnson; co-producer Deborah Szapiro; associate producer/research, 

Claire Absolum. 


With 3 weeks of colonial life left, the Hawkesbury settlers experience a mix of 

renewed hardship and restoration of fortunes, following the tide of political 

upheavals of the period. Respectively, the recreated Rum Rebellion of 1808-1809, 

followed by the end of the military coup in 1810 and arrival of the new governor, 

Lachlan Macquarie. Features convict Keogh's escape, the fifth of nine convicts 

to do so. Features also Anto's trip to a sacred site with his son, accompanied 

by the European men and their eldest sons. Shows how some in the colony succumb 

to 21st century temptations. With the end near, the divisive tensions of the

past 14 weeks seem to disappear, as everyone enjoys their last supper together. 

Participants in the project reflect on their experiences of living as early 19th 

century settlers in the colony. After the final farewells, the families sail up 

into Sydney Harbour and back into the 21st century. Includes references to early 

19th century events replicated to closely match historical facts.

families arrive in the colony by various means. There, the new arrivals meet and 

are being prepared to settle into their historical context, with the assistance 

of historian, Michael McKernan. The European families are set up with two 

convict servants each, and basic government supplies. They draw lots for the 

farms. The different cultures and social classes are about to meet and interact,

and eke out a living in the harsh and hostile Australian environment. Includes 

references to early 19th century events recreated in the replicate colony to 

closely match historical facts.

Four modern families are back in time to relive life in the Australian colony of 

1800, for 4 months. Soon after arriving, they draw straws to choose their farms. 

The settlers then set up communal camp, postphoning the major decision about 

choice of farms to the next day. The aboriginal clan do it their own way. In 

this colonial experience, the aboriginal clan must share the valley with the 

white settlers, just as 200 years ago. The settler families spend the next day 

inspecting, choosing their farms, and settling into life as colonists of the 

period. Includes references to early 19th century events recreated in the 

replicate colony to closely match historical facts.

FEDERATION [VIDEORECORDING] / DIRECTOR, IAN MUNRO ; PRODUCER, ANNA GRIEVE. 


The land (58 min.) -- The people (57 min.) -- The nation (57 min.). 

Narrator, John Doyle. 

Federation brings to life the events, personalities and experiences that led up 

to the federation of the Australian colonies in 1901. Episode 1 covers the years 

1889-1891 and tracks our first attempts at making a nation. The 2nd episode, 

entitled The people spans the years 1891-1897 and shows how the federation issue 

was revived after floundering in the doldrums of the Depression of the 1890s. In 

the last episode, covering 1897-1898, the "men with beards" make another bid to 

bring the 6 colonies together. Unification seems within reach but some colonies 

still hold out for a better deal.

For a time there was talk of Prince Charles becoming our Governor-General. The 

idea never really caught on, signalling that Australia's infatuation with the 

Royal family was well and truly at an end. This program contrasts the breathless 

days of the young Queen Elizabeth's 1954 tour with the failed attempt to install 

a Royal at Yarralumla. It puts Australia's relationship with the British 

monarchy in its context and look at how far Australia has come along the road to

When films and glossy brochures appeared at the end of the First World War 

promising "a new life, a new start on your dairy farm in the paradise of Western 

Australia", unsuspecting British families travelled to the other side of the 

world under a hastily conceived program known as the Group Settlement Scheme. 

What they found was an unforgiving, alien landscape, poor soil, bushfires, 

disease, malnutrition and crushing debts. But there were some who were 

determined to survive.

Narrated by Rachel Griffiths. 

The western half of the island of New Guinea has been known by many names, 

including Netherlands New Guinea, West Papua, Irian Jaya and Papua. It is an 

extraordinary place, where snow-capped mountains drain into massive rivers and 

250 languages are spoken. Despite its wild beauty and rich culture, it remains 

strangely forgotten. This documentary reveals the turbulent history of a 

troubled country, swept up in the power-play of international politics. Through 

eyewitness accounts and rare archival film, it interweaves a dramatic and 

intimate, detailed picture of this large and unknown corner of the world. It is 

an epic of colonial ambitions, cold war sellouts and fervent nationalism, 

highlighting the role of players such as Australia and the UN at crucial points. 

The film shows the reality of life today in the land of the Morning Star. 

For centuries, the world has jostled for control of this rugged, isolated region, 

with its abundant natural resources and strategic position. First outside 

contact was with the Muslims of Malacca, who came in search of slaves and the 

prized feathers of birds of paradise. The European spice traders followed, 

staking out colonial territory. By the mid 1800s, the Dutch had secured their 

claim. Then during World War Two, the sleepy outpost was transformed into a 

massive US military base. By the 1960s, President Sukarno had made the area the 

26th province of Indonesia. Today, if transmigration continues, the indigenous 

Melanesian people are set to become a minority in their own land.

MY FATHER, MY COUNTRY [VIDEORECORDING] / DIRECTOR, WRITER, PRODUCER: PETER BUTT.







Warning. 

Editor, Robin Archer. 

Narrator, Jim Downes. 

Jim Taylor's voice, Neil Patrick. 

Documents the epic journey through the Pacific and the meeting of cultures, and 

contemporary history. In 1938, three Australian patrol officers - Jim Taylor, 

John Black and Pat Walsh with 250 native police and carriers - journeyed into 

the unexplored highlands of Papua New Guinea. Their purpose was to make contact 

with 'stone age' tribes who knew nothing of the outside world; and to explain to 

them that their lives were about to be transformed dramatically. Fifty years 

later, Jim's daughter Meg set out on her own journey of discovery, retracing the 

footsteps of her father's historic patrol. On the expedition, Meg and her fellow 

travellers have to cope with illness, fatigue and constant rain as they find 

their way through almost trackless jungle over one of the highest mountain 

ranges in Papua New Guinea. Along the way, Meg meets people who vividly recall 

the day her father's patrol arrived. Without any knowledge of the outside world, 

they thought the white men were spirits of the dead they had buried, come back 

to life to harm them. Meg's observations of how her country has coped since then 

are combined with excerpts from her father's journal to provide a personal 

narrative about an extraordinary meeting of cultures. Includes selected archival 

footage from the Film Australia archives.

Part 1. My Valley is Changing documents the building of a giant open-cut copper 

mine on the island of Bougainville, and its profound effect on local landowners. 

Despite royalties, training programmes and extensive development, landowner 

concerns eventually escalated into conflict, which resulted in the closure of 

the mine. These issues are clearly evident in this film, made shortly after the 

mine opened in 1970.

Part one, The Marshall Islands, tells the story of the tiny atoll island of 

Bikini. In 1946, the people were removed from their homeland by the U.S. navy to 

make way for the American testing of nuclear bombs in the Pacific. They now live 

on another island, dependent on American food and support. They can never return 

to Bikini Atoll because it is poisoned beyond the possibility of habitation. 

This is a touching, impressive study of a people whose culture has been 

vanquished. Includes selected film and archival footage; and interviews with 

some prominent figures for comments and their stories. 

Part two, A Place of Power in French Polynesia, is about Tahiti, a rugged, 

forest clad island, surrounded by coral reefs in the South Pacific. It is part 

of French Polynesia. The traditional Polynesian way of life has been swamped 

over the years by foreign influences. This documentary examines the present re- 

emergence of the traditional culture. Looks at some of the people responsible 

for the cultural revival and their arts, including the building of a double- 

hulled canoe, the art of full body tattooing and the fierce dance competitions 

at the high point of celebration of Polynesian culture, the Tiurai Festival.

Reporter, Chris Masters. 

A chronicle of the fortunes and woes of Nauru, which gained independence in 

1968. It began very wealthy, thriving on its valuable natural asset, organic 

phosphate; and, living out a Pacific idyll. Today, Nauru is economically broke, 

the result of over thirty years of government instability and mismanagement; as 

well as, corruption and money laundering from within the government and public 

service; and, from without, financial advisors. Nauru is also a sick nation, 

with about the world's highest rates of diabetes. Chris Masters reports on where 

the millions have gone, and identifies some of the recent profiteers. Draws on 

selected archival footage and current interviews, with past and present Nauruan 

ministers, and Australian high commissioners; and members of the business 

fraternity.
