GOD MADE THEM BLIND
An observational 56-minute documentary about how Australian ceramicist, John Fawcett, is devoting his life to reducing the enormous number of cataract blind people in Indonesia, after narrowly escaping his own death….twice. His biggest challenge however, is convincing a nation that blindness is not God’s punishment. Four years in the making, it reveals how John’s life-altering quest brings him into conflict with Hindu beliefs in Karma and black magic, resulting in profound personal transformations on both sides.

NINGALOO WHERE THE DESERT MEETS THE SEA
This program is the definitive look at Ningaloo: the largest and most pristine western fringing reef in the world.
Imagine sparkling turquoise water lapping against an ivory beach, bordered by a rust coloured desert in a remote region of Western Australia. Step off the shore and you see the reef, a sublime scene of plate and branching corals dotted with every type of tropical fish. Moray eels with pointy teeth poke out of crevices, clouds of pink and green parrot fish flit by and curious cuttlefish drift over hermit crabs and sea stars.
