| Welcome to EnhanceTV THIS WEEK - your Australian educational TV Guide. EnhanceTV This Week is proudly brought to you by Screenrights. First Australians - free screenings! First Australians - Six years in the making, this multi platform project is the most ambitious to be undertaken on Indigenous Australia. The series First Australians chronicles the birth of contemporary Australia as never told before, from the perspective of its first people. First Australians explores what unfolds when the oldest living culture in the world is overrun by the world's greatest empire. Over seven documentaries, First Australians depicts the true stories of individuals - both black and white - caught in an epic drama of friendship, revenge, loss and victory in Australia's most transformative period of history. We begin in 1788 in Sydney, with the friendship between an Englishmen (Governor Phillip) and a warrior (Bennelong) and end our tale in 1993 with Koiki Mabo's legal challenge to the foundation of Australia. First Australians chronicles the collision of two worlds and the genesis of a new nation. Free screenings for teachers and lecturers and their partners only, will be shown around Australia during September. Book now through Metro Magazine. First Australians will broadcast on SBS later this year. More: http://www.metromagazine.com.au/bookings/ Our August giveaway is still on!

"The songs of John Dowland have been haunting me for the past 20 years," says the former Police front man. Born in 1563, Dowland has long captivated performers and listeners alike with his songs and introspective music. Composed primarily for lute, but also small ensembles, it remains arresting in its simplicity, spellbinding with melancholy and joy. It was perhaps inevitable that Sting - one of today's most internationally acclaimed troubadours - would be drawn to revisit Dowland's work from a contemporary perspective.
