The New Space Age
Are we on the cusp of a revolution in space exploration? ‘It’s not just a boom – it’s a frenzy’ – space exploration is captivating the imaginations of entrepreneurs and national governments alike, as the race is on to push the boundaries of mankind’s spacefaring technology. From Elon Musk’s plan to settle humans on Mars to Richard Branson’s ambitions for commercial space tourism, new interests are picking up where the Cold War space race petered out. But mankind’s final frontier may not be as utopian as the visionaries of the past imagined, as new geopolitical tensions emerge in the quest for dominance amongst the stars.

Criminalizing Women
Most women in the Australian prison system have faced abuse in their past. But with an emphasis placed on punishment rather than rehabilitation, re-offending rates are high, and a majority struggle to re-integrate into society. This documentary follows three women as they navigate an institutional system designed not to bring about change in individuals, but to isolate them.

The amazing revelations of elite former members could bring the controversial religion to its knees.
