Ivan Milat: Backpacker Murderer

Ivan Milat, also known as The Backpacker Killer, is Australia's most notorious serial killer, jailed for life in 1996 for the murder of seven young Australian and international backpackers and the disposal of their bodies in the Belanglo State Forest, 90 minutes south of Sydney.

Now, a year after Milat's death in maximum security prison, Australia's foremost criminal investigative team set out to prove Milat had many more victims, many more burial grounds, and there are dozens of families who have lost loved ones and need closure.

Criminal psychologist Tim Watson-Munro and forensic anthropologist and criminologist Dr Xanthe Mallett will uncover compelling evidence that 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Milat's first victim - and there could be up to two dozen more.

In the series premiere, "The First Murder": 50 years on from the death of Milat's first victim, investigators set out to prove that many more died at the hands of Australia's most prolific killer.

Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World

Society depends on the Internet for nearly everything but rarely do we step back and recognise its endless intricacies and unsettling omnipotence.

From the mind of Werner Herzog comes his newest vehicle for exploration, a playful yet chilling examination of our rapidly interconnecting online lives.

Herzog documents a treasure trove of interviews of strange and beguiling individuals, ranging from Internet pioneers to victims of wireless radiation, whose anecdotes and reflections weave together a complex portrait of our brave new world.

Herzog describes the Internet as "one of the biggest revolutions we as humans are experiencing," yet he tempers this enthusiasm with horror stories from victims of online harassment and Internet addiction.

For all of its detailed analysis, this documentary also wrestles with profound and intangible questions regarding the Internet's future.

Will it dream, as humans do, of its own existence?

Can it discover the fundamentals of morality, or perhaps one day understand the meaning of love?

Or will it soon cause us - if it hasn't already - more harm than good?
