Religion
Tonight: Not to be missed
Three Nigerian Catholic priests are sent to save Tasmania’s struggling church. But will the dwindling congregations and the resistance of the local clergy prove too hard a cross to bear?
It’s a fascinating four-part series … revelatory of the extraordinarily different religious cultures of Tasmania and Nigeria … from the massive youthful celebratory nature of the Nigerian church; to the old, dwindling, conservative culture of Tasmania. Rivetting … superbly marshalled by Tasmania’s Varcha Sidwell and Roar Film, and beautifully, sensitively shot by Matt Newton. – Lindsay Tuffin.
