The Beach

FRIDAY, 7.30PM, NITV & SBS

There’s never been a more relevant time to watch this astonishing new six-part series that delves into self-reflection, food and the way we live in today’s world. Viewers are given a voyeuristic look into award-winning filmmaker Warwick Thornton’s life after he flees to a small island in Western Australia to seek solace and solitude after the ravages of living for years in the fast lane. Here he hunts and prepares all his food, discovering how important these meals are for not only his body, but his spirit as well.
