EnhanceTV :: Educational TV :: Geography & Nature :: Remembering Rain

Remembering Rain

In the face of the worst drought on record, rural Australians have gambled their dreams on the chance of rain - and cracks are starting to show in more than just the parched earth.

Remembering Rain introduces us to the people of the bush and offers us a glimpse into their lives, their hopes and their fears as they attempt to weather the crisis.

These are tough times for families on the land. Prices are low, expenses high. After more than three years without useful rain, many are deep in debt and considering cutting their losses and selling up.

But who would want to buy in this climate? And what is happening to the communities left behind? Could this be the end of an era?

It's a predicament that many are facing with wry humour, pragmatism, even stubborn optimism. The survivors are fighting to stay on the land they love, but there are difficult decisions to be made.
