The Second World War claimed the lives of millions of people and left many children orphaned. This documentary explores the untold stories of these orphans, navigating the chaos of conflict.
Orphans of WW2 follows the odyssey of a group of Polish orphans who, at the end of hostilities, found themselves in a refugee camp in Tanzania. From their deportation to Siberia to their reception in Canada, their fate was determined by the shifting tides of the post-war era and the early days of the Cold War.
The Race for Ancient Egypt in Colour uncovers the extraordinary story of Egypt in the years between the World Wars; a period when archaeology, nationalism, and imperial politics collided. Using rare photographs and film, meticulously restored and colourised, this limited series sets Egypt’s most remarkable archaeological discoveries firmly within their political and cultural context.
7.30pm - Episode 1:
Revolution and the Boy King Amid Egypt’s 1919 upheaval, Tutankhamun is uncovered, igniting worldwide mania and a political fight over the tomb.
8.25pm - Episode 2:
The Fight for Egypt’s Past As Egypt pushes for authority over its antiquities, foreign archaeologists press on, racing for discoveries before war intervenes.
Starring Claudia Karvan, Luke Wiltshire, Jazi Dall and Roxie Mohebbi. When trans man Darcy reluctantly returns to his regional hometown Torwoo to care for his estranged mother Nora, he’s shocked to discover that she has secretly been living with Dee, the ghost of his pre-transition self – who manifested two years earlier.
Nora hopes Darcy’s arrival might help them all move forward. Trapped in the house with her mum, Dee is a powder keg of teen emotions, which manifest in flickering lights and electrical short circuits. However, Darcy and Dee clash, competing for their mother’s attention. On the outer, feeling replaced, Darcy accuses Nora of manifesting Dee. Through a misguided exorcism, Darcy unwittingly unlocks Dee’s ability to leave the property, and she flees to town. He is horrified when he tracks her down and discovers that she can now be seen by others.
This ghost is becoming more and more real, but he is slowly losing his own reflection. Is Darcy at risk of fading altogether?
With exclusive access to Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe and Richard Ratcliffe, as well as other former hostages, Anoosheh Ashoori, Kylie Moore-Gilbert, Jason Rezaian The Hostages’ Story offers a rare, inside look at the toll of being used as leverage in political negotiations between states. In the aftermath of their releases, the film explores the slow, painful process of rebuilding lives while also asking urgent questions: what does justice look like for victims of state hostage-taking, and how can future cases be prevented?
The film lays bare how authoritarian regimes are increasingly using foreign nationals as geopolitical bargaining chips. Through the lens of Nazanin’s six-year imprisonment in Iran, it examines the wider pattern of wrongful detention, the international failure to prevent it, and the hidden costs to families, diplomacy, and justice.

Adam introduces his friends Henrik and Jeppe to the shadowy worlds of cryptocurrency and wind power investments, promising extraordinary returns with no tax and no risk. Life feels full of possibility, but as the trio embrace this new financial frontier, dangerous forces are quietly closing in around them.
The story of Janos Hunyadi (Gellért L. Kádár) is the epic tale of a modest hero who against all odds, vanquished the much larger Ottoman army and halted its drive to conquer the Vatican and overrun Western Europe. In so doing, Hunyadi not only shaped the history of Hungary, but all of Europe. This 10-episode mini-series set in the 15th century is based on the bestselling Hungarian novels by Mór Bán. With a visually striking contemporary approach, the series chronicles Hunyadi’s lifelong struggle against the ever-expanding Ottoman Empire as well as his enemies at home. It all culminates in Hunyadi’s climactic victory against seemingly insurmountable odds when he defeats the invading Ottoman army at the siege of Nandorfehervar (contemporary Belgrade), a triumph that forever altered the fate of Europe.
The series is produced by Robert Lantos, and directed by Academy Award Nominated director Robert Dornhelm, Orsi Nagypál and Attila Szász, with showrunner Balázs Lengyel.
Episode One:
The first episode of Rise of the Raven introduces us to the life of Janos Hunyadi, and his fight against the constantly expanding Ottoman Empire, in the 15th century Central Europe.

Wednesday 1 April 10.45pm (10 parts)
Episode 1:
When young gang member Patrick is brutally shot dead shortly after his release from prison, newly appointed criminal profiling teacher Louise Bergstein takes the case alongside her partner Frederik Havgaard. Across the border in Sweden, reformed gang member Kim Jensen finds his carefully rebuilt life suddenly threatened by his criminal past.
Episode 2
Forensic evidence confirms that Patrick and Pernille were killed by the same hand, prompting Louise and Frederik to dig deeper into what connects the two victims. When an old gang-related double murder unexpectedly comes to light, the stakes rise sharply and Louise makes a decisive commitment to the case.
SBS has the exclusive Australian premiere of smash-hit UK drama series Riot Women. created by Sally Wainwright (Happy Valley), Riot Women is about a group of women who form a punk rock band – just for fun, just to enter a local talent contest, just to raise money for charity – but who discover in the course of rehearsing an ABBA song (badly) that they have a voice of their own.
And that voice is angry. They’re women who’ve recently discovered the ‘joys’ (not) of being middle aged, menopausal and more or less invisible. And they want to shout about it.
Episode One
In a quiet house, Beth Thornton (Joanna Scanlan) is burnt-out and on the brink - until an unexpected phone call changes everything. Jess Burchill (Lorraine Ashbourne) assembles an unlikely crew of sassy women to form a punk rock band for a local talent contest. Police Officer Holly Gaskell (Tamsin Greig) arrests chaotic Kitty Eckersley (Rosalie Craig), who might prove to be the missing ingredient the band - and Beth - needs.
Following the death of Pope Francis, 133 cardinals descend on the Vatican to undertake one of the Catholic Church’s most solemn responsibilities: the election of the new pope.
The papal conclave is among the most significant and closely guarded events in the Catholic Church, where cardinals serve not only as electors but as potential successors to the papacy. This documentary offers a rare glimpse into the ancient ritual of the conclave, a process of prayer, discussion, spiritual reflection and divine guidance as cardinals make their selection.
Featuring exclusive footage from the Vatican and interviews with cardinals who attended to cast their vote, Secrets of the Conclave gives a unique insight into a tradition that has shaped the leadership of the Catholic Church for centuries, charting the journey of the papal conclave from mourning to the moment white smoke signals the election of Pope Leo XIV.
Peeling back centuries of tradition and artistic interpretation, this documentary uncovers the genuine historical and archaeological evidence behind the life of Jesus. From lost cities to remarkable new discoveries, it offers a fresh and compelling perspective on the man who changed the course of history.
At the outbreak of World War II, the British monarchy was in turmoil. Edward VIII had abdicated, leaving his brother George to take on a role he never expected: King. First-hand accounts and new evidence reveal a bitter family feud between two brothers driven apart by ambition, health and family.
Episode One:
This is the story of two brothers at war… with each other - the exiled Edward VIII and his younger brother George VI. Now, first-hand accounts from people close to the story, along with new evidence from historians reveal how the battle of the Windsor brothers continues to shape the British monarchy today.

Herrhausen: The Banker & The Bomb
Monday 6 April 10:40 PM
Deutsche Bank board member Alfred Herrhausen harbours a radical vision: unprecedented debt relief for the world’s poorest nations. His plans enrage intelligence agencies, including the CIA, and ignite the fury of German left-wing extremists, the Red Army Faction. As the Soviet Union teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, an audacious billion-dollar loan proposal threatens to reshape the entire world order.
48 Hours: Escape from Chernobyl examines the worst nuclear disaster in human history and one of the most impactful global events of the twentieth century.
By focusing on the initial 48-hour period that followed the explosion of the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant on 26th April 1986, a period during which the Soviet state attempted to hide the scale of the tragedy from the world, we tell the largely unknown story of the first responders, nuclear scientists and every day citizens of the nearby town of Pripyat, as they bravely tried to contain the unfolding nuclear meltdown.
Through in-depth interviews with these people, supplemented by interviews with expert historians and scientists, as well as exclusive archive footage of the 48-hour period, we stay in the heart of the action as events on the ground unfold.
A New Anzac is a four-part documentary series which follows the latest redevelopment of the Australian War Memorial (AWM). Discover the AWM’s unique purpose as a memorial, museum, and archive, and the impact this institution has on Australian society.

While preserving the AWM’s rich history, the construction teams and staff of the AWM outline the plans for the project, including having the new Parade Ground ready for ANZAC Day, 2024. The redevelopments are integral for providing the public with a better understanding of past and contemporary conflicts, and the experiences of veterans. The stories of Australia’s Peacekeeping mission in East Timor and veterans such as Sergeant Ian Ward, Emma Conway, and Adrian Humphries, are explored by the dedicated teams who represent their service via various exhibitions. The operations of the AWM, including the Napier Waller Art Prize, continue whilst keeping the current buildings open to the public.
The King
Friday 10 April 10:55 PM
The murder of Nicola Iaccarino, his closest friend and right-hand man, shakes Bruno’s world. Public prosecutor Laura Lombardo investigates, weaving a web of suspicions around Bruno, his methods and unscrupulous running of the prison.
In 1939, the world stood on the brink of war. An enigmatic Canadian businessman, William Stephenson, embarked on a mission that would change history. His adversaries were formidable: Adolf Hitler, and Charles Lindbergh, America’s hero.
As the Second World War raged on, Stephenson executed a top-secret operation of paramount significance. Operating undercover in New York City as “British Passport Control”, Stephenson’s mission focused on countering Nazi propaganda in the U.S. and drawing America into the war. Stephenson’s covert strategy to draw the United States into the war, birthed what would later evolve into the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). But his audacious plan did not come without controversy.
Shadow Man tells the story of Stephenson’s clandestine endeavors that have had a profound impact on history. Interviews with a world class group of experts in their fields, including Timothy Naftali, one of only few living historians to have seen the top-secret files of the WW2 operation, are threaded throughout the series to offer a modern-day perspective.

Recent scientific discoveries in Central and South America are calling into question all the certainties we had about the origins and fall of the Maya civilisation. Thanks to exclusive access to several excavation sites, this series traces the history of the Maya, from the emergence of this civilisation to its collapse. The Aguada Fenix site provides unprecedented information on the origins of the first Maya, and excavations of the monumental cities of Tikal and Calakmul help us to understand their golden age.
Episode One – Origins at 7.30pm
An incredible discovery in the Guatemalan jungle calls into question the certainties we had about the origins of the Maya.
Episode Two – Civilisations at 8.25pm
Some recent new archaeological discoveries explain the impressive evolution of the Maya civilisation, one of the first in America.
On the 26th April 1986, in the middle of the night, a huge explosion rocked the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, killing workers and blasting radioactive dust into the atmosphere. The 50,000 residents of nearby Pripyat knew nothing of the disaster, until 36 hours later when local officials ordered a total evacuation of the town.
This was the worst nuclear accident in history, spreading radiation across Northern Europe, and yet for days, the Soviet State tried to cover it up. We hear from survivors and witnesses to the first days of the unfolding catastrophe.
Episodes 1 and 2 will play concurrently from 7.35pm.
Set inside the bubble of Silicon Valley, The Audacity takes on the warped dreams, outsized egos, and ethical lapses of the self-styled inventors of the future. In a world of jaded billionaires, psychiatrist-gurus, bio-hacked tech bros, AI labs and disillusioned teens being optimised in elite private schools, an audacious data-mining CEO (Billy Magnussen) strives to turn insight and influence into profit and power. Through biting satire and wit, The Audacity confronts reality, privacy and the delusions fueling our ever-changing world.
The series is created by Jonathan Glatzer (Succession, Better Call Saul, Bad Sisters), and directed by Emmy Award winning director Daniel Sackheim (The X-Files, Game of Thrones), Lucy Forbes, Daniel Longino and Alex Buono. It also stars Sarah Goldberg and Zach Galifianakis.
Episode One:
A would-be tech titan and his therapist play with privacy and try to find a fortune and happiness.
Under The Bridge
Thursday 16 April 11:20 PM
In 1997, on a quiet island in British Columbia, fourteen-year-old Reena Virk attends a party and never returns home. Her disappearance intrigues a novelist returning to her hometown, who finds herself drawn into the hidden world of the teen suspects.
The construction of the new Southern Entrance is well underway. The team works all hours to install Super-T beams for the exhibition space of Lower Anzac Hall. The architectural marvels of the Oculus, the spiral timber staircase, and the eucalyptus-inspired glasswork ‘Quiet Skies’ come to fruition. The Peacekeeping Gallery commemorates voices such as Rwandan Genocide survivor Frida Umuhoza, and Private Robert Syron, who has been crafting traditional Aboriginal tools to connect with Country and heal from his deployment in Rwanda.

Before the golden arches, before the coffee chains, before Australia embraced the world on a plate, there was the Greek café and milk bar.
These shops were scattered across every suburb and country town and didn’t just serve milkshakes and mixed grills. They revolutionised what Australians ate, where they gathered and how they understood community.
Australia’s Greek Cafés & Milk Bars tells the remarkable story of migrants who left Greece to escape war and poverty in search of a better life, arriving in Australia with little more than determination and a willingness to work all hours. They joined the gold rushes of Victoria, NSW and Western Australia. Some with an entrepreneurial eye saw a gap in the food business. With an added dollop of modern American culture – Hollywood and hamburgers - in just a few years, thousands of cafés and milk bars had popped up across the nation becoming “a curious symbol of the Australian country town.”
The Chernobyl disaster is the worst nuclear accident in history, releasing 400 times more radiation into the atmosphere than the Hiroshima bomb. In the lead-up to the 40th anniversary of this catastrophic event, this series tells the full story – from reactor meltdown – to the present-day war in Ukraine, that turned a nuclear exclusion zone into a war zone.
Episode One: Inferno at 7:35pm
Survivors recount the terrifying first 24-hours of the worst nuclear accident in history. After a reactor explodes during a safety test at a power plant in Ukraine, firefighters rush to the scene, unaware of the lethal levels of radiation. Soviet authorities try to cover up the disaster as a cloud of radiation begins to circle the world.
Episode Two: Cover-Up at 8:30pm
Two days after the explosion, the world wakes up to a terrifying global disaster. At the power plant, helicopter pilots try to put out a fire in the reactor core, braving plumes of highly radioactive smoke. Soviet authorities eventually begin to evacuate 50,000 people from the local area, while still trying to conceal the scale of the accident.
