Few social scientists are able to enliven an issue like Connolly and Anderson, and few documentarians have their dramatic intuition.

Keeps the audience squarely focused on the human dimension of Australia's educational crisis.

If a year in the life of a university department head doesn't sound like the stuff of a riveting documentary, please allow this stirring film by husband and wife filmmakers Bob Connolly and Robin Anderson to change your mind.
