THE LONG MARCH TO FREEDOMIn January 1945, the inmates of POW camps in Poland were marched west towards Germany to evade the advancing Soviet army. Amongst them were thousands of Allied soldiers, many of whom had spent over four years working in mines and factories with barely adequate sustenance. They were now ordered at gunpoint to march through harsh winter conditions and struggle for survival amid chaos, genocide and starvation. It was to be one of the most tragically forgotten cases of brutality of WWII. Now, for the first time, this story is told through reconstructions, archival footage and the vivid testimony of survivors – who recount everything from the desperation of marching in such awful conditions to the joy of liberation.

ROCKWIZ – SERIES 4 (3 DVD SET)RocKwiz has been a staple of the SBS Saturday night programming line-up since it first started on air in early 2005. Hosted by the charismatic Julia Zemiro with help from Brian Nankervis as the firm but fair adjudicator, the program blends live music and pub trivia. The real stars are often the punters pulled from the crowd on the night for their nerdy rock knowledge to sit either side of the special mystery musical guests in the faded splendor of the Esplanade Hotel’s Gershwin Room. Along with the ‘End of Year Special’ and ‘RockWiz Live at the Forum’ special features, ROCKWIZ Series 4 also features memorable performances from: Kate Miller-Heidke & Paul Dempsey, Betty Harris & John Paul Young, Deni Hines & Michael Spiby, Serena Ryder & Lior, Josh Pike & Neko Case and many more.
