Since 1994 she and other members of the Mary MacKillop East Timor Mission have been supporting the people of this struggling new nation.

Widows of War - Anzac Day is a time to commemorate the men and women who fought and died; the battles won and lost. But there's another story rarely told, about the women who waited at home, and were left bereft and alone. Around 100, 000 Australian women are classified as 'war widows'. Many lost their husbands in wartime; others in war related circumstances afterwards.

Cronulla to Kokoda - In December 2005, riots broke out at Sydney's Cronulla Beach. Racial tension turned to disturbing scenes of mob violence - police and ambulance officers were attacked, people were bashed in the street, cars were vandalised, shop windows were smashed. From as far as the other side of the world, this was an Australia people weren't used to seeing. At the height of the riots Ali Ammar, a 16-year-old Muslim-Australian boy, climbed atop an RSL Club and tore the Australian flag down from its pole, throwing it to his mates, who then spat on it before setting it ablaze.

The Forgotten examines the prejudice faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander soldiers in the armed forces and the honour they felt representing their nation.

On the 70th anniversary of the Darwin bombing the History Channel presents an exclusive and world premiere on Australia's first "physical contact with the war". In examining the events of 19 February 1942 we ask why the government kept the attack a dark secret and why the Australian military was totally unprepared for this major attack. There is a study guide to accompany this program.

Kapyong River South Korea, Anzac Day 1951: In total darkness, individual is pitted against individual in a struggle between a superpower and a cluster of other nations from across the world.

Miners from all over the country are given just two weeks military training before being sent the Western Front. Their task is to undermine the German Lines. There is a study guide available for this film.

'All the Way with LBJ' was a slogan that came to haunt the Australian Government after it hitched its wagon to America during the Vietnam War. Taking its name from a part of this catchcry, this frank and poignant documentary shows the war, which became the most hated conflict in Australian history, not only tested Australian soldiers, it stretched Australia's friendship with America to breaking point. There is a study guide to accompany this program.

Windows to Sandakan - One of the worst atrocities involving POWs in WW2 unfolds in this moving Compass Anzac special about the making of a series of stained glass windows for an historic Anglican church in Malaysian Borneo.

Charles Mene is one of Australia's unsung heroes. 480 looks at his story and the act of bravery that earned him the Military Medal for his courage under fire. Oodgeroo Noonuccal was one of Australia's leading Aboriginal poets. She helped her country during war time, a phase in her life which ultimately inspired her to change the world for her people. In Douglas Grant and Sandy Togo follow the story of two soldiers with very similar goals, yet their journeys turn out completely differently. It was during the time when Indigenous men were not allowed to serve due to the colour of their skin. Reg Saunders had a philosophy that any task, no matter how small, should be done to the best of one's ability. This philosophy helped promote Reg up the military ranks during WWII.

Through a sequence of pivotal battles we see the emergence of a type of fighting man with an international reputation as non-conformist and unparalleled as a shock troop or as a soldier able to function on his own initiative. Archive, re-enactments, expert commentary on worldwide scenes combined with first hand accounts chart the immergence of the national icon.

A Very Short War is a deeply personal story that resonates with and speaks to every name found chiselled into memorial monuments scattered throughout the world's cities and country towns. It revolves around the short life of Jack Clifford (Cliff) Carpenter, a pioneer Australian aviator of the 1930s. Cliff had designed and built his first aeroplane as a teenager and, sadly, lost his life at the age of 28 in the darkening skies over Norway on the day of the German invasion.

Prisoners of Propaganda - In 1943, the Imperial Japanese Secret Service made a film called "Calling Australia!" to show the "exemplary conditions" under which the prisoners of war were treated by Nippon, and to soften up the Australian public for the anticipated occupation of their country by Japanese forces.  Prisoners of Propaganda tells why the film was made, and how it came to be forgotten.

Some 61,700 never came home.  Australia suffered the highest casualty rate in the British Empire forces - every one of them was a volunteer.  There are so many First World War memorials in Australia that it is easy to stop seeing them. They have become so much a part of the landscape that you can walk past them without registering what they are, or stopping to think why they were originally erected. It is only when you start looking for them that you realise the scale of this act of commemoration. There is a study guide available for this program.

In Gallipoli: Untold Stories the stories come from the diaries of The Sydney Morning Herald journalist Charles Bean, who covered the Gallipoli campaign from the moment the troops landed and helped create the ANZAC legend.  Bean's little known diaries give a deeper insight into the tragedy than his reports from the field, which were heavily censored by the military.

In Enough Rope's Gallipoli: Brothers in Arms - Why are more Australians drawn to the shores of Gallipoli each year? The Dawn Service at Anzac Cove, once a modest gathering of souls, has become an event on a scale that rivals the original invasion. The gentle, grassy slopes of this Turkish landmark are thronged with the relatives of those who fought and died, veterans of other conflicts, the merely curious, and a generation of backpackers paying their respects as they circle the globe.  In 2006, Andrew Denton went to meet some of these pilgrims, to listen to their stories, to ask why they had made the journey and what they were learning from it. There is a study guide available for this program.

Message Stick: Lest We Forget - Each year, there is an outpouring of national pride on April 25 - ANZAC Day. The iconic 'digger' - a battler against the odds committed to mateship, a fair go, and an egalitarian ideal - is held up as a timeless embodiment of Australia's fundamental national values. But while the blood that was shed on the distant battlefields was only one shade - red - there is a colour blindness that has pervaded Australia's recognition and treatment of Indigenous servicemen and women and their families.

Gallipoli Pilgrimage - What began as a small, quiet ceremony to honour ANZACS who fought and died at Gallipoli has turned into a blockbuster event.  More than 18,000 people crowded the narrow strip of land just north of ANZAC Cove in Turkey for the 90th anniversary in 2006. Few were at Gallipoli. Fewer still had blood ties with the Diggers who survived or were killed on that faraway shore.

Revealing Gallipoli - five broadcasters from across the globe unite to tell the tragic story of Gallipoli - from all sides.  The program follows the campaign as it unfolded, from its beginnings at the War Council of London, through to the ensuing naval attack and the landings and to its end, many months later, when Allied troops silently withdrew in the dead of the Turkish winter.  There is a study guide available for this program.

Battlefield Detectives: The Gallipoli Disaster - The largest amphibious assault, it became the most public disaster of the Allied campaign in WWI, destroyed reputations including those of Churchill and Kitchener, and created a war hero for the Turks, Kemal Ataturk, who went on to found modern Turkey. Military historians have consistently represented the Gallipoli disaster as the result of commander incompetence. But we will tell a different story. ~ Anna Yates
