- The life of legendary television commentator Phil Liggett MBE is inextricably entwined with the history of professional cycling. During a career that has spanned five decades, 15 Olympic games and 47 Tours de France, Phil Liggett has been there for every key moment in cycling over the last half century. The heroic triumphs, the appalling tragedies, the scandals and the controversies; Phil has seen it all, and told us about it with passion, knowledge and his trademark wit. As much as anyone, Phil Liggett has shaped the way the world sees cycling Born in wartime England in 1943, Phil began riding at age twelve and was quickly hooked. Phil aspired to be a professional cyclist and, during the 1960s, raced with a number of elite amateur teams. Phil supported himself by working at the local zoo where his life-long love of animals was born, and where he once memorably crashed his bicycle into an elephant. Phil was offered a professional cycling contract in 1967, but he turned the offer down. He was racing against the likes of the legendary Eddy Merckx and knew that he wasn't in the same league. Instead, Phil chose to pursue a career as a sports journalist. Initially he wrote for newspapers and had no ambition to be a commentator. Then, one fateful day, he picked up a microphone at a local bike race and called the finish for the watching crowd, "just because nobody else was." Phil found he had a natural ability to talk about cycling. His career as a television cycling commentator began and took off into the stratosphere. Phil Liggett became known globally as "the Voice of Cycling", "the Soundtrack to Summer", "the Jewel of July" and "the Talk of the Tour". For generations of sports fans, he is as famous as the riders about whom he commentates. His thoughtful commentary is imbued with gentle humour and an astounding knowledge of cycling. He is legendary for his florid commentary and unique turn of phrase, known around the world as "Liggettisms". Now in the twilight of his career, Phil looks back on his own life and on his decades behind the microphone. Phil has seen the giants of cycling come and go, and he has outlasted them all. He paints a vivid picture of his own personal highlights and the quiet moments of personal triumph and unsung heroism he has witnessed over the years. Phil recalls the bad times: the time his car was blown up by terrorists, the devastating recent loss of his long-time commentary partner Paul Sherwen, and the doping scandals that almost destroyed the sport. In particular, he recalls Lance Armstrong, a man whose legend he helped create, and whom he publicly defended to the detriment of his own professional reputation. Phil also looks back on forty-eight years of marriage. Phil and his wife Trish, a former Olympic speed-skater and highly regarded wildlife photographer, unpack a complex relationship that began on the way to a local bike race and has navigated the all-consuming demands of life on the international cycling circuit. Today, Phil Liggett still loves his job and has no plans to hang up his microphone. However, broadcasters are increasingly looking for younger commentators to be the face of their network, and Phil's fans are wondering aloud if it is time for Phil to retire. Is Phil an endangered species? With the clock ticking on his career, Phil is pondering life beyond the commentary booth. Career success and global fame have given him the ability to make a difference. Phil and Trish have become leading activists in the battle to save rhinos from extinction as poachers decimate the species in South Africa, a country they have adopted as their second home. Fame is a currency and Phil is finally cashing his in for a cause close to his heart. Phil Liggett: The Voice of Cycling is a fascinating insider's look at fifty years of professional cycling and an intimate portrait of the gentle man whose passion and quiet charm has come to personify the sport for so many.

- Anne Deveson was a magnificent woman: the first female talk-back broadcaster in Australia, she was also a writer, activist, mental health advocate, and mother. When director Sari Braithwaite met Anne in 2015, she was attempting to bundle up thousands of private papers for the National Library of Australia (NLA). Sari offered to help and over the next six months they transform Anne's 85-year paper trail into a mountain of neatly stacked brown boxes for the permanent collection at the NLA. But during this time, Anne's brain starts to fail her. Alzheimer's, the illness that took her mother and grandmother, is gaining hold, and she is feeling the pressure to move into care. While she has stacks of miscellaneous files to sort, Anne has resolved to keep living in her own home, on her own terms. As she seeks to make sense of her life through the archives, she discovers that the storylines she's seeking to piece together are becoming harder and harder to find. What to keep, what to discard? Anne writes in her diary, "Who am I to think I matter?" The film weaves between Anne Deveson's present and past as we time travel through her rich archive, exploring the changes and repetitions that appear over a lifetime. While Anne may be packing her life's work into boxes it is, at best, a mirage of order. The chaotic beauty of Anne Deveson, or any of us, defies a singular telling or definitive portrait.
