In this 3-part series, presented by screen icon Jacki Weaver, we crack open a forgotten vault of Australian government films - now stored in the National Film and Sound Archive - that unearth a kaleidoscopic vision of Australia in the 1970s. Featuring an all-star cast of commentators including Ben Law, Jan Fran and Zoe Coombs Marr, and behind-the-scenes insights from the people who made and featured in these revealing films like Phil Noyce, Dr Gary Foley and Jacki herself, the series offers a fun, insightful, and nostalgic exploration of a decade of political and social change when the idea of Australia was completely reimagined and the modern nation we know today came kicking and screaming into existence.
For the first time in Australian television history, a documentary series has been filmed inside one of the busiest mental health units in the country.

Patients agreed to be filmed while mentally unwell and then consented formally once they recovered their health. Their stories reveal the realities of 21st century psychiatric care.

Their targets united by their sexual identity. All are gay. For the first time, Deep Water - The Real Story presents the full account of the gay hate crime epidemic that bloodied Sydney's coastline. It stirs up old cases in the hope that new evidence will rise to the surface. So that maybe, after all these years, there will be peace for the dead, and justice for their loved ones.
