Safe as Houses

Produced by Kerrin McNeil and Kate Hynes of Good Apples, SAFE AS HOUSES is a six-part documentary series that journeys through communities battered by nature's fury: devastating floods, wildfires and cyclones. Yet, amid such destruction, a powerful story unfolds of resilience, innovation and hope in an uncertain future.

Narrated by Claudia Karvan, these are the stories of hope, in the wake of climate disaster.
