We join the hurrah around the Olympics in Japan with a mocumendarty series screening on the ABC called The Power of the The Dream. The brain child of Alexandra Keddie and Bobbie-Jean Henning the series follows “cousin-best-friends” Amy and Brooke Bland as they trial various Olympic sports to see which one will take them all the way to the podium. All six episodes of The Power of the Dream will launch on The Power of the Dream Instagram and Facebook pages on July 14.

Now we go to a chat I had with Damon Smith versatile musican now filmmaker who has worked with Adam Coad and Regional Arts Victoria and Creative Victoria to bring the stage show Mental As Everything to the screen. It is all about removing myths around mental health as told by people who have lived experience. It is scheduled for the Melb Documentary Film Festival but with the covid lock down you will have to check the Nova Carlton website for updates about cinema times.
