  1. Granville Cattle Shoot - Unedited footage of bulldozers and men clearing land in order to create pens to house cattle. Cattle is then shot in the head and picked-up by a bulldozer/tractor that dumps the dead, or close to dead body in a pit with other bloodied carcases. The pit of dead cows is then filled with soil.

  2. Mice Milking - Documents the process in which scientists at Dandenong milk mice with special machinery. The milk is then given to the American Cancer Council who use it to research cancer treatment. A mouse attached to the milking machine looks quite bizarre. One mouse yeilds a third of a teaspoon of milk per milking session. Good footage of the machine in action.

  3. The problem of Lamb Survival - Shows how the Department of Agriculture is trying to improve the amount of lambs that are born each year and survive to adulthood. Includes footage of a mobile laboratory in the field.

  4. N.A.S.A moon shots - Filmed photographs of general space imagery, focusing on the moon and spacecraft. Contains photograph or earth from space.

  5. Eclipse 23/10/76’ - Rushes of countryside, sheep and cars in the day and at night.
