Find and Tell

The Find and Tell finale continues as Mark and Ben battle it out over the theme Lost In Translation. This week we hear from Ben.

In passing conversation at a Christchurch pub, Ben discovered that all New Zealander's learn the Māori language in school. This left Ben wondering why he was never taught his Aboriginal language and he seeks out an answer. Ben's search leads him into deeper questions about Australian Aboriginal language preservation and the ownership of cultural knowledge - and even has his own mind changed. 

At end of this episode Jamila Rizvi will crown our Find And Tell Champion, who will it be, Mark Mariano or Ben Haywood?

This episode we say goodbye to two of our storytellers as we head towards the finale. Which will make it through - Mark, Kate, Naeun or Ben? 

Before then, Ben and Mark share their stories on the theme Odd One Out.

As self-proclaimed ‘fatty’ Mark is here to show us that fatness can be an experience punctuated by joy! Joined by besties Tess and Cribbs who founded Radically Soft – a plus size clothing collective, they talk about the trials and tribulations that come with trying to shop as a plus size person, the importance of community, and how to reclaim the word ‘FAT’!

Struggling to lock down a story and only a few short days from deadline, Ben receives a text with a lead for a story: “Have you heard of the Weed Church of Newcastle?” It sends him on a frantic chase for an interview with the controversial religious organisation that combines spiritual worship with plant-based medicine.

This episode kicks off the four final stories from our storytellers before the finals, where only two will advance. Naeun and Kate share the theme of New Beginnings.

Naeun finds herself in a small country town in New South Wales, as locals flock to the showgrounds, ready for a big day out. But this isn’t a music festival. It’s a police auction, where thousands of items – lost, stolen or seized – will be sold off to the highest bidder.

In the climax to Kates heartbreak trilogy, she stumbles across Yumi Stynes divorce party, and begins to question why big life changes, such as a relationship breakdowns, aren’t celebrated with the same grand rituals that falling in love has.

As we approach the half way point of the series, Naeun and Ben go head to head to tell a story on the theme Today Was A Bad Day. 

10 years ago, Ben had planned a day to take his friend Brenna out surfing for the first time. Hours later, he was driving Brenna to the hospital, covered in blood. Ben’s been carrying the guilt from that day ever since. So, he reaches out to Brenna, to make amends, and for a chance at forgiveness.

And Naeun takes us back to a day in 2020 when sisters Rosa and Sophie Do were grappling with uncertainty as the pandemic took hold. Of course, they were worried about the spread of Coronavirus. But on this day, the sisters came up against something far worse.
