As an indie actor in My Own Private Idaho, a blockbuster star in Point Break and Speed, a digital-age hero in The Matrix and a supremely accomplished hitman in the John Wick saga, in the course of a career spanning more than 30 years, Keanu Reeves has reinvented himself over and over again, building a protean, category-defying body of work that makes him one of the most fascinating and most contemporary stars of his generation.
Through his unusual career, major successes but also wrong moves, this full archive documentary investigates a star who seems to have no equivalent. A dive into the journey of a unique actor, to explore the upheavals that have reshaped Hollywood over the last four decades, as digital technologies have revolutionized our lives, social networks have emerged and gone from strength to strength, and culture has become increasingly globalized.
This will be followed by the repeat of Keanu’s movie Constantine at 9pm.

Giving the work of these women a new dimension, one of Australia’s top actuaries investigates their actions to calculate the financial value of each of their projects… and the results are astonishing. From sacred ground above Byron Bay to Antarctica, Indonesia and to Pakistan, the women apply their energies to shark conservation, factory farming and antibiotic resistance, indigenous practices, the fight against pollution and the subsequent environmental and human health impact these issues are having. This documentary moves beyond a critique of the world’s inaction on climate change, it celebrates the example set by this group of gutsy future-proofers…and actually puts a dollar value on the work they are doing.

We travel back in time and delve into the background of the AK-47, one of the most notorious weapons in history.
From the weapon’s beginnings shortly after World War II, to the 1956 Hungarian Uprising and the Vietnam War of 1965, the tale of the weapon will be explored from the perspectives of military historians, ex-reconnaissance personnel, a specialist AK collector, and the key historic battles in which it was deployed.
The season and episode numbering is so confusing. They screen them as Season 14 Episodes 1-11 on SBS.
In IMDB these episodes are from Season 21, 22 and 23 based on the year they were broadcast so on SBS they are out of order and screened as Season 14.
When you go to SBS On Demand they have certain episodes from seasons 1-13 available. Then they list the current season episodes under Season 21, 22 and 23 but with the season 14 episode numbers.
I only noticed because my PVR failed to record an episode and I tried to watch it on SBS On Demand and was perplexed about how they numbered it.
6 parts; We look at why radical adaption to the climate crisis is necessary - and how imagination can help us create a world where people and the planet thrive, not just survive.

The Screen Diversity and Inclusion Network (SDIN) and the Screen Producers Australia (SPA) have announced Latecomers, produced by SPA members Lazy Susan Films and Mad Ones Films, as the winner of the annual SDINAward, at the 21st Annual SPA Awards.
Latecomers was created by Angus Thompson and Emma Myers, who have drawn on their own experiences of living with cerebral palsy to tell this story of two strangers with cerebral palsy who, after watching their care workers hook up at a bar, become determined to explore their own relationships with sex and each other. The series stars Angus Thompson and Hannah Diviney, and Alistair Baldwin, who identifies as living with a disability, directed one of the episodes.
Announced as part of SCREEN FOREVER 37, the SDIN Award presentation also marks the end of the two-year term of leadership for SDIN Co-Chairs Michelle Cheng (SBS Content Industry Diversity Manager) and Kelrick Martin (ABC Head of Indigenous). In speaking about the Award, they said:
“Latecomers is unlike any program Australia has ever seen – hilarious, relatable and game changing – it shows the power and authenticity coming from creators with lived experience, telling stories about their own community. As Sarah and Frank navigate their relationships with sex and each other as people with cerebral palsy, this groundbreaking series is shifting perceptions and attitudes towards people with disability in Australia.”
The annual SDIN Award recognises an Australian-based project, producer and/or production company and/or screen organisation that has made a significant contribution, through excellence or impact to diversity and inclusion either on or offscreen, within the Australian screen industry.
