"Neighbours- they're your closest friends, until they poison the family cat."
With dark humour this film examines three independent stories of horror in suburbia. The bewildered victims tell of how alcohol, unrequited love and racial differences fuelled fights and pet poisonings in their seemingly friendly neighbourhoods. Why are these people driven by revenge and the need to hurt cats? Jump 'over the fence' and discover the sinister underbelly of the Australian way of living.

The Man Who Wouldn't Give Up is a short biographical documentary about the leader of the Queensland Greens Party and 'the greatest political failure' in the history of Australian politics, Drew Hutton. The film explores the grey area between what is political failure and what is success? Is failure loosing ten elections over twenty years in all three levels of government?

It traces the pattern of growth through three stages of understanding; that of a young child's perception of her father as a glorious faultless figure; the revelation a little later in life, that her father can fail her; and finally the stage of acceptance of her father as a failure, a good man, a person, as well as a parent.
