Mañana, cuando la guerra empiece
Novel
Lo que comienza como una aventura veraniega para adolescentes despreocupados adquiere pronto tintes apocalípticos al estallar una imprevisible guerra contra Australia. Ellie (Caitlin Stastey) y sus amigos del instituto deciden pasar una semana de acampada en un valle paradisíaco que los aísla completamente de la realidad. Pero una noche aparecen en el cielo aviones de guerra que vuelan a poca altura. A partir de ese momento, tendran que aprender a sobrevivir y a luchar contra fuerzas militares hostiles. Stuart Beattie, guionista de las entregas de "Piratas del Caribe" y "Collateral", debuta en la dirección adaptando una novela que causó furor en Australia en los 90
Cannabis: The Evil Weed?
Himself - Presenter (as Dr John Marsden)
Cannabis is the world's favourite drug, but also one of the least understood. Can cannabis cause schizophrenia? Is it addictive? Can it lead you on to harder drugs? Or is it simply a herb, an undervalued medicine? Addiction specialist Dr John Marsden discovers that modern science is finally beginning to find answers to these questions. John traces the cannabis plants' birthplace in Kazakhstan; finds the origins of our sensitivity to cannabis in the simple sea squirt; and shows just what it does to our brains. He meets people who have been changed by this drug in drastically different ways - from those whose lives have been shattered to those who lives have been revived.
