Mental ill-health and loneliness are on the rise for Australians and so are the number of dogs in pounds. Unwanted dogs are given just 8 days to be rescued before being euthanised.
Host Joel Creasey has an innovative solution: a mutual rescue.
Studies show owning a dog improves physical and mental health but thousands are neglected or euthanised every year. Joel joins forces with leading dog behaviourist Laura V as they race against the clock to rescue dogs on death row, transform them and pair them with Australians in need.

Storm in a Teacup' is an intimate portrait of Western Australian Artist Leon Pericles as he embarks on his biggest challenge yet - a full retrospective exhibition of a lifetime of artworks at a time when he has the least support. Leon is one of Australia’s most renowned printmakers and painters. His wife Moira has played a huge part in his success as his creative counsel and manager. That is until now.
Told through the eyes of his daughter Nia, the film explores the role reversal of Leon and his wife Moira who has always been his rock but now has Alzheimer's. As Leon prepares for the exhibition of a lifetime, he must do so alone, juggling his roles of artist, husband and carer to Moira.
