###Naked As on ABC2 & triple j
No Body’s Perfect
Following the breakout success of 2HIGH and 2SEXY, ABC2 in collaboration with triple j, will spend a week undressing our national obsession with how we look. Naked As, a week of special programming looking at bodies, in all their shapes and sizes, screens from Sunday 13 March – Saturday 19 March.
With factual programming from Australia and around the world, covering topics from body building, to steroid use, labiaplasty, to eating disorders and body dysmorphia, ABC2 examines why our shape is so seemingly tied to our happiness, and what social media and the explosion of the selfie is doing to our self confidence. Meanwhile, on triple j, discussions will get under the skin of what’s driving our fixation.
At the heart of the week will be Hack Live on Body Obsession where Tom Tilley will explore, in a live TV and social media event, our fixation with body shape. Are we too obsessed or not obsessed enough? Social media and the internet have changed the game when it comes to selfies and self image, so just what affect is it having on young Australians today.
Also screening during the week are Australian premieres of My Self Harm Nightmare; Bodyshockers: Nips, Tucks, Tattoos; Plus Sized Wars and Tattoo Disasters UK. Plus screenings of the Australian documentaries The Vagina Diaries and Head First: Tailor Made Bodies as well as international documentaries Louis Theroux: Under the Knife; Dying for Clear Skin; Desperately Hungry Housewives; Gok’s Teens: The Naked Truth; Glamour Model Mum and Me; 45 Stone Virgin; Glamour Model Mum; Baby and Me; Inside the Body Beautiful; My Baggy Body and I want to Change My Body.
So what’s the truth about body image? It’s time to find out. No body’s perfect
###Hunted
Wednesday 23 March 8:30pm
If you had to disappear tomorrow - with some of the world’s best missing persons experts looking for you - and the most cutting edge technology keeping tabs on your electronic footprint, could you just vanish?
14 British citizens are given fugitive status and go on the run. For up to 28 days they must evade capture from some of the world’s best investigators. As the fugitives’ soon find out hiding in the UK isn’t easy when everything they do leaves a trail. The UK has 1 CCTV camera for every 11 people, and we leave a vast electronic footprint from cash withdrawals, supermarket shopping, texts, calls and social media posts.
Leading the hunt is Chief Brett Lovegrove, former Head of Counter Terrorism for City of London Police who led the City of London Police response to the 7/7 bombings. He runs a team of 30 hunters carefully selected from law enforcement, military intelligence, cyber analysis, online profiling and human tracking.
###Scrotal Recall
From Thursday 24 March at 10:05pm

Dylan receives his Chlamydia diagnosis and has to contact all the girls he has ever slept with to inform them. He casts his mind back three years ago to Abigail, the first girl on his alphabetical list of exes…
###How Gay is Pakistan?
Friday 1 April at 8:30pm
This eye-opening film meets the Pakistanis living openly as LGBT despite constant fear of retribution.
Being gay is illegal in Pakistan: punishable by up to ten years in prison and, in some cases, death by stoning. But, despite this, the country has a vibrant gay scene that’s growing. So why are gay rights not being addressed here?
This is a complicated place, where homosocial behaviour, like men holding hands, is common and accepted. In this revealing journey to the country of his birth, presenter Mawaan Riswan talks to the people struggling to assert their sexuality against a complex backdrop.
From the activists campaigning for gay rights despite the threat of violence, to the transgender sex worker considering surgery, and the men who identify as straight but enjoy gay sex, Mawaan discovers a fascinating world hidden from public view. During his time in Pakistan he’s also surprised to be offered a miracle herbal cure for his own homosexuality.
In this country, gay sex is practised privately more than Mawaan thought possible. In How Gay is Pakistan? he uncovers poignant stories that epitomise the LGBT experience in a country riven with contradiction.
