Had the choice between this and another movie tonight, so glad we went for this one. Based on the true story of Michelle Payne, surprisingly directed by Rachael Griffiths, this is a good movie and worth the time to watch. Saw some other reviews to make comment on, one has a low score stating she has won a race no has heard of..... there is no one one in Australia that hasn't heard of the Melbourne Cup, Internationally anyone in the racing world definitely knows of it-- it is a longer race with a bigger prize pool than the Kentucky Derby. Another review states that she was suspended for "taking drugs", yes it was wrong but lets be clear, it was an appetite suppressant, not illegal outside sport.

This series has stayed with me, not often I watch a series twice but this one I did. This series makes you consider the world we are creating and it really is all our fault. We did this, every one of us. This may be fantasy but it really makes you aware of the world around us and where we could end up.

Watching what people do to restore these historical properties is great and the presenter is quite likeable. I just do not understand why they have a presenter who cannot pronounce the title of the show, or why they can't make the title something he can pronounce- which would be my choice, as I said he is quite likeable, sometimes it feels like they purposely add extra R's to his scripting just to amuse themselves.
