Media Watch examines the daily cycle of Australian media and exposes a lot of it as having unchecked sources, twisted to suit company narratives, agendas and bottom lines, sensationalist, focused heavily on junk celebrity stories, bias towards it's own audiences prejudice, picking on the weak and in 2016 the great decline of the private industry as investment massively drops along with researched, quality journalism. I watch it to cut through the crap and learn what the real deal is which it often gets to but mainly because it's exciting and stimulating. I have never failed to enjoy the show over the many years I've watched it. It is a national treasure which Australian's are fortunate to have. It should be obvious to everyone that the private industry could never offer up a show of this quality and of it's impeccable independent nature, regularly criticizing the very network it's on - The ABC. Well done ABC for keeping it going since 1989!

First of all i thought the first guy who reviewed this movie was spot on. I was also glad to see someone else who has actually seen this film. I was suprised it was on this site. If for some reason you get to this review i would recommend this film highly especially for lovers of a good drama.

The films central character Vasili Shukshin (also the director) is a very intriguing, facinating character. The story is also very well constructed with interesting idea's. This film seems to come straight from the heart without all the cheap twists and turns that often seem to be used just to sell a film to the distributor's. Watch it and you will be rewarded. (A mature mind may be required to enjoy this film). One of my favorite films!
