CUTTING EDGE: CONSERVATION'S DIRTY SECRETS
Reporter Oliver Steeds travels the globe to investigate the conservation movement and its major organisations. Steeds finds that the movement,
far from stemming the tide of extinction that's engulfing the planet, has got some of its conservation priorities wrong. The film examines the way
the big conservation charities are run. It questions why some work with polluting big businesses to raise money and are alienating the very
people they would need to stem the loss of species from earth.

In this portrait of a year in Yellowstone, we follow the fortunes of America's wildlife icons as they face the challenges of one of the most
extraordinary wildernesses on Earth. Yellowstone is no ordinary wilderness. A lost world of vast plains and forests defended on all sides by
towering mountains, home to America's last great bison herds and realm of the wolf. It is also the most extensive thermal area on Earth. There
are more than 10,000 boiling springs, fumaroles and bubbling mud pots here and more geysers than the rest of the world put together. These
strange natural wonders first made Yellowstone famous and still make it unique.

Mount Everest - twenty-nine thousand feet - the highest point on Earth - captivating and deadly. In the 1920s to conquer Mount Everest was the
greatest challenge remaining in a golden age of adventure. Everest was the edge of heaven, where many believed no human could survive.
George Mallory dreamed of being the first man to climb Everest but on June 8th 1924, dressed in gabardine and hobnailed boots, he and his
fellow climber Sandy Irvine, were last seen eight hundred feet below the summit. Seventy five years after Mallory and Irvine vanished,
mountaineer Conrad Anker, took part in an expedition looking for their bodies high on Everest.

journey across hundreds of kilometres of frozen wasteland, during which his two companions perished, the world was amazed to hear that

COMPASS: THE PROPHET OF REDFERN
Ted Kennedy was a Catholic priest like no other; 'an untidy grimy prophet who spilt his guts for others' and constantly clashed with his own
church. When he died in 2005 the Compass program was given exclusive access to film his unusual funeral ceremony at the 'Block' in the innerSydney suburb of Redfern. Here the poor and powerful rubbed shoulders as they joined a day-long service that started with an Indigenous
smoking ceremony in his old church, and proceeded through the streets of Redfern finishing at nearby Waverley Cemetery.
