Description:

Produced by Kerrin McNeil and Kate Hynes of Good Apples, SAFE AS HOUSES is a six-part documentary series that journeys through communities battered by nature's fury: yet, amid such destruction, a powerful story unfolds of resilience, innovation and hope in an uncertain future. From floods and bushfires to storms and rising seas, each episode begins in the aftermath, amid loss, uncertainty, and trauma, and follows the emotional and practical journey toward renewal. We witness the challenges of resilient design, systemic obstacles like insurance and planning laws, and the ingenuity of builders, architects, and locals working to future-proof homes against the next event. As homes are rebuilt stronger and safer, so too are the lives of those who inhabit them. It’s a story of survival, adaptation, and hope in the face of an evolving climate emergency.
