Summary
Seven years. Six million displaced people. The biggest humanitarian emergency of our time. The Syrian refugee crisis remains at the forefront of the global consciousness: as statistics, as photographs, as a bargaining chip in international politics. But inside the camps real people settle in to a life in limbo. 'Watan' (Homeland) explores two of the biggest refugee camps in Jordan - Zaatari and Azraq - along with neighbouring city Jerash, to paint intimate portraits of the men, women and children who have found themselves there. Through observation of daily life, 'Watan' builds a simple yet powerful series of interwoven stories that go beyond the statistics to find the human heart of the refugee crisis. These are stories of sadness, fear, beauty and surprises: from a young woman raising a family that is not hers, to a seventeen-year-old concreter, an all-women's filmmaking class, a boy who finds meaning through football, and more. 'Watan' seeks to inspire action through connection, empathy and recognition, in a way that allows these people to speak for themselves. It shines a much-needed light on the human stories at the centre of the global debate of immigration and asylum, giving a voice to the Syrian refugees in Jordan.

'Chasing Asylum' explores the mental, physical and fiscal consequences of Australia's decision to lock away families in unsanitary conditions hidden from media scrutiny, destroying their lives under the pretext of saving them

Summary
So many of us want to understand Aboriginal culture better - to know it is to understand that Aboriginal people in contemporary times still have important links to the Dreaming. However, what is really important is Aboriginal people are not 'frozen in time' and that like everything in modern society, over time it has the possibility to reinvent itself, transform and still maintain its authenticity and originality within a cultural context. This programme looks at a variety of new and emerging artists and their artistic expressions which still maintain all the integrity, authenticity and connectedness to a culture which continues to survive a barrage of external cultural influences.

Australia first sent troops to Vietnam in 1962 and increased this commitment, to include Operation Vietcong and Operation Full-On.

Summary
With the court system in Australia often requiring people to endure protracted and expensive procedures, alternative means of resolving disputes are increasingly important - not just to ensure that disputes are settled fairly and justly, but to also relieve pressure on the court system. Aimed at senior level students of legal studies, this programme outlines a range of alternative dispute resolutions, how they work, their suitability for different situations and their effectiveness. Mediation, negotiation, arbitration and collaborative approaches to law are examined in detail as alternative means of resolving disputes, and a range of areas where disputes commonly surface are explored - including family, workplace, property and consumer affairs. Lawyer, Catherine Gale offers a variety of expert comments on various aspects covered. This programme is a perfect introduction to the nature and mechanisms of alternative dispute resolution accessible to people every day, and would also be suitable for teachers of SOSE, Ethics and English Issues who are exploring the broader areas of social justice and equity in society.

Summary
The 2007 Federal election was a watershed moment in Australian politics; a fresh-faced but inexperienced leader faced a battle-hardened veteran whose ideas, many said, felt stale. With the youth vote targeted like never before, VEA captured the thoughts, hopes and aspirations of five young people as they voted for the first time. Roxxy, Fin, Ben, Ella and Chris shared with us their thoughts on democracy, compulsory voting, Australia's parliamentary system and how they would decide who to vote for via the policies, personalities and media influence. This engaging programme is fascinating reflection on the decision-making process and political engagement of this complex generation.
