PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CANBERRA REGION BEEKEEPERS IN CELEBRATION OF WORLD BEE DAY

Celebrate World Bee Day with this captivating documentary that follows migratory beekeepers and their precious cargo of honey bees, as they set out on an epic journey across the United States to pollinate flowers that will soon become fruits, nuts and vegetables.

As these dedicated beekeepers travel the country, the film uncovers the many significant challenges both they and their bees face, exposing the vulnerabilities of a chemically reliant agricultural system. Through insightful conversations with farmers, scientists, chefs, and academics, The Pollinators reveals the threats to honey bee populations and underscores the critical importance of these tiny creatures to our global food security, offering pathways towards a more sustainable future.

More than 20 years after his show-stealing supporting turn in the 2003 Australian crime comedy Gettin’ Square, David Wenham returns as Australia’s favourite dim-witted larrikin – small-time criminal Johnny “Spit” Spitieri – in his very own spin-off.

This hilariously chaotic homecoming begins with our eponymous protagonist bumbling through Toowoomba airport, attempting to slip back into the country on a false passport after spending many years abroad. But Spit is promptly apprehended and sent to an immigration detention centre, where he unexpectedly bonds with his fellow detainees. It’s not long, however, before word of his return spreads, with old adversaries on both side of the law coming out of the woodwork to settle a score with the mulleted “criminal mastermind”.
