Australian Story: Dec 6

For their season finale, Australian Story brings two very different stories.

Cradle of Life tells the story of 81-year-old inventor Professor John Grant-Thomson who designed a space age capsule to retrieve extremely premature babies from the bush.

By chance he met one of his Neocot’s first patients, leading to a lifelong friendship.

And we check in with the “fake Russian” choir known as Dustyesky that took the world by storm when they first featured on Australian Story in May.

Now they’re working out how to deal with their newfound fame — there have been three movie offers and an invite to the Russian Embassy in Canberra — while still staying true to their values.

Monday December 7, 8pm on ABC.
