A FRIEND IN DEATH
COMPASS ABC TV 1 X 30MIN
A group of passionate volunteers support terminally ill patients by collaborating with them to write their life stories, with surprising benefits to both patient and volunteer. This moving documentary will follow the journey of 3 volunteers; from the initial training, through the documentation process and delivery of the final books to the patient's family and loved ones. In the process we enter the lives of the volunteer's and discover what drives and sustains their unique work. The journey of healing and acceptance for the patient reminds us of the value of each person's life and that dignity in dying is possible.
THE SUBURBAN DREAM
ALJAZEERA 101 EAST 1 X 30MIN
As Australia’s population has grown, cities have fanned out in an ever-growing sprawl of new neighbourhoods. The dream of owning a quarter-acre block is etched in the national psyche. But in many low socioeconomic suburbs, community bonds are missing or frayed. In Armadale, on the outskirts of Perth, unemployment and social despair are rising. But a band of local heroes is trying to turn the fortunes of this community around.
