See What You Made Me Do explores an epidemic that is showing no signs of slowing down.
On average, one woman a week is killed by a current or former partner in our country1 and most Australians who experience domestic abuse will never report it, meaning their abusers are never called to account.2
Hosted by investigative journalist, Jess Hill, and inspired by her award-winning book of the same name, three-part series
See What You Made Me Do will ignite crucial conversations about domestic abuse and ask what needs to be done to keep women and children safer and hold perpetrators to account.

The opening scene of new SBS documentary series is chilling stuff.
It’s a call to Triple 000 in which a man calmly tells the operator, “I’ve killed my ex-partner. I’m pretty sure she’s dead. She’s not moving at all.”
This is a 3 part series on domestic violence, which investigative journalist Jess Hill tells us is a crisis in Australia.
Or in the words of another unidentified male, “I just snapped and said to her,
See What You Made Me Do.”
SBS has a long track record in event documentaries on big social themes such as immigration, poverty, mental health and more. Given the life and death subject, this could be the most important yet.
FRYEBURG, Maine â Fryeburg selectmen will be asking voters in June to allow the town to pursue acquiring 100 percent ownership of Jockey Cap from a resident and put it into conservation.
The 600-foot granite dome has an accessible trail and at the summit there is a memorial to Adm. Richard Peary, who once lived in Fryeburg in the late 19th century.
One can reach the top in under 20 minutes. Dollar General, located at 124 Bridgton Road, is located at the base now, though there used to be a motel there.
From the summit of Jockey Cap, you can see Lovewell Pond to the east, and Mount Chocorua to the west.
FRYEBURG, Maine â The Eastern Slope Regional Airport won t be seeking a long-term lease this year after all.Â
At last July s Fryeburg Town Meeting, the ballot question that got the most scrutiny from the public was No. 34, calling for a 99-year lease for the airport authority. It was the only question to fail (274 for, 374 against, with 30 blanks).
Some said they were concerned by the authority s management of land at the airport, as the authority had come under state scrutiny for clear-cutting trees clearing at Round Pond. Â
The reason given for requesting the long lease was that having to renew its lease very seven years at the airport makes it hard for the authority to get lenders to invest in the airport.
FRYEBURG, Maine â An impassioned plea by Fryeburg Selectman Kimberly Clarke convinced her fellow board members to ask voters to use $100,000 from surplus funds to address the crumbling sidewalks lining the side streets of the town.
Last Thursday, the board met in person for the first time since the pandemic. At the meeting held at the David and Doris Hastings Community Center, the selectmen discussed what to do with credit reserve funds, which Town Manager Katie Haley said is basically surplus funds totaling about $1.67 million.
During the meeting, Clark proposed, and fellow selectmen agreed, to take $100,000 from the fund and write a warrant article for the next town meeting, asking voters to approve spending this money to improve the town s sidewalks.
