The Mystery of a Hansom Cab
6.4/10
Melbourne, 1886. Two gentlemen climb into a hansom cab late one murky night. One man climbs out, the other travels on to St Kilda. On arrival, the driver finds the second man dead; murdered. The ‘high-society’ killing sends shockwaves through the young city, still flush from its gold-rush boom.
Underground: The Julian Assange Story
6.6/10
In 1989, known as Mendax, Julian Assange and two friends formed a group called the International Subversives. Using early home computers and defining themselves as white hat hackers - those who look but don’t steal – they broke into some of the world’s most powerful and secretive organisations. In the eyes of the US Government, they were a major threat to national security.
Dangerous Remedy
6.7/10
The ABC telemovie event Dangerous Remedy tells the fascinating story of Dr Bertram Wainer. Living and working in Melbourne in the 1960s, Dr Wainer put his life at risk to expose police corruption in an effort to change the law on abortion and put an end to the illegal operations that were killing young women. It’s a truly inspiring story. Dr Wainer’s determination, even when his own life and that of his family’s was threatened, never faltered. He was living proof that one person can make a difference and change the status quo. With the support of Dr Wainer’s family, the filmmakers have endeavoured to capture the essence of his struggle to expose police corruption and change the law.

The story of Australian Indigenous boxer Lionel Rose from his first amateur boxing matches up until his first title fight in Japan.
Scope
7.5/10
Persephone Chase is a contract assassin with a difference. In a fond homage to 1970s drive-in action thrillers -- but set in modern-day Melbourne -- powerful criminals plot the downfall of a right-wing, devoutly religious political candidate... and each other.
Apparitions
