Nurseries, raids on babies
★ 8 · 2025 · Documentary
An investigation into the inner workings of an economic model where profitability takes precedence over the well-being of children and their families. Former employees provide behind-the-scenes accounts of these daycare centers, which now operate on a profit-driven basis. In France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, this sector is being privatized, paradoxically thanks to massive public subsidies. But where do these public funds end up?

Four Corners
1961 · ★ 6.9
Four Corners is Australia's longest-running investigative journalism/current affairs television program. Broadcast on ABC1 in Australia, it premiered on 19 August 1961 and celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2021. Founding producer Robert Raymond and his successor Allan Ashbolt did much to set the ongoing tone of the program. Based on the Panorama concept, the program addresses a single issue in depth each week, showing either a locally produced program or a relevant documentary from overseas. The program has won many awards for investigative journalism, and broken many high-profile stories. A notable early example of this was the show's epoch-making 1962 exposé on the appalling living conditions endured by many Aboriginal Australians living in rural New South Wales.
