Australian Story: Regeneration | Rachel Ward – 25 May
Documentary. When Instagram trolls attacked actor and director Rachel Ward for “letting herself go”, it became a cultural moment about how older women are perceived.
But Rachel, once voted one of the most beautiful women in the world, laughed it off and used the moment to draw attention to her passion for regenerative farming.
Living and working on the family’s cattle farm in northern NSW, Rachel has found a profound sense of purpose and a new-found connection with her adopted country.
Presented by Leigh Sales.
8:00pm (AEST), on ABCTV and ABC iview.
