Can a jailhouse psychologist (played by Deborra-Lee Furness) help Kevin regain his memory, or will it take an act of violence to bring out the truth?

Charlie's Country
7.2/10
Blackfella Charlie is getting older, and he's out of sorts. The intervention is making life more difficult on his remote community, what with the proper policing of whitefella laws that don't generally make much sense, and Charlie's kin and ken seeming more interested in going along with things than doing anything about it. So Charlie takes off, to live the old way, but in doing so sets off a chain of events in his life that has him return to his community chastened, and somewhat the wiser.

Black Chook

They were Australia’s bad days. Men killed other men and laughed. All that was left for the children of the dead was to remember. If they had the strength.

BlackJack
6.8/10
Jack Kempson started out as an idealistic cop. Thirty years on, he remains relentless in tracking down villains, but has lost confidence in his moral barometer. He turns a blind eye to the dubious methods employed by some of his contemporaries — prepared to let dodgy means be justified by the noble end.
BlackJack: Ace Point Game
7.2/10
After wearing a wire to catch a dirty colleague selling confiscated drugs, detective Jack Kempson is hated by his colleagues. He also gets 'promoted away' to the basement, where old files get transferred to the national computer database. Thus he comes across fingerprints, now identifiable, in the 30 year old case of Ashley, the kidnapped son of lottery winners. Although he's too late to help him now, he tracks the perpetrators down behind his boss's back.
Widowers
An oddly comical and touching meditation on suburban masculinity as two burly, aging men negotiate grief, rage and forgiveness without exchanging a word. It’s a tale of two men bound together by a death but dealing with it in very different ways.
The Diver
5.6/10
Callan is twenty and is overcome with impulses that he finds it increasingly difficult to control. In order to protect others from his strange behavior, Malcolm, his father, tries to channel his son's attention by every means possible.
