- Narrated by Hugo Weaving, Tackling Peace is the inspirational story of Israeli and Palestinian youths who unite over the game of Australian football. Tackling Peace goes behind the scenes as young men from different sides of a bloody political war set aside a lifetime of prejudice and hostility to compete as a team in the Australian Football League's International Cup. Few of the aspirant players had ever heard of the game and none imagined befriending teammates from across the political divide.
- Follows the Radomsky family, who, generations ago, fleed Nazi-occupied Lithuania as Jews, as they leave their lives in Johannesburg, South Africa, and re-settle in Australia.
- Albert Pierrepoint was an English hangman who executed between 435 and 600 people in a 25-year career that ended in 1956. His father Henry and uncle Thomas were official hangmen before him. During his tenure he hanged 200 people who had been convicted of war crimes in Germany and Austria, as well as several high-profile murderers including Gordon Cummins, John Haigh, John Christie, and Ruth Ellis. He executed the fastest British hanging on record in 1951, taking just seven seconds from the time that JamesInglis was removed from his cell to the moment that the trapdoor opened.
