The CBAA has launched the final works from the 2020 National Features and Documentary Series.
Produced over the year by eight producers from around Australia, these quarter-hour features are multifaceted stories captured in a significant year.
From language and law to the state of aged care and home-schooling, the 2020 Series is as much about the year that was, as about what the future could be.
Each story will be released as a podcast from today and available on Apple Podcasts and Onmy.
