A Child's Day: East Timor
+
This program portrays a day in the life of Cecilia, an 11 year-old East Timorese girl. Cecilia lives with her uncle and aunties so she can attend school as her parents live three hours away. Her village is near Viqueque, in the south of the country.
Cecilia's day starts at dawn feeding her cousins, and progresses to school from 7am until midday. In the afternoon, Cecilia carries out more chores, including collecting water and firewood - carrying these home on her head. The younger students enjoy seeing the milk arrive, supplied by a local dairy, which was set up with help from Australian farmers. The day ends with the washing and feeding of the children in the family, concluding a busy and hardworking day in the life of an East Timorese child.

A Great Landscape
Indigenous Music in Australia
+
Indigenous music in Australia is broad, dynamic and diverse, spanning traditional styles, country and western, reggae, pop, rock, hip hop and a vibrant mash up of all of these and more. Importantly its contribution to Indigenous self-expression and strength and society's understanding of Aboriginal lives and issues is second to none.
This program looks at the many new and diverse forms of music, and the trailblazers who paved the way for innovative and varied contemporary Aboriginal sounds. It examines and clearly explains songs as Indigenous expression, as stories that must be told, the role of non-indigenous musicians raising awareness and the future of Indigenous music via new technologies such as MySpace, Face book, and the downloadable MP3 files.
