How can I watch the .au show "War on Waste"?

December 27, 2019 2:03 PM

The Australian series "War on Waste" looks very interesting! But it's from 2017 and 2018, and ABC no longer has it on their web site -- plus I am in the U.S. so I couldn't watch it anyway. Is there another way to see it?

It's a series of hour--long dcumentaries of several episodes each:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_Waste

I want to watch it, and probably point it out to others, but its just kind of down the memory hole.

Thank you for any suggestions.

I'm in Australia, and can view it on the ABC website via IView. IView tends to be blocked from overseas, even with VPNs. You could try the free app.

I don't think the app will work. I'm in Australia but my iPad is on the US iTunes store and I couldn't download it.

It doesn't seem to be on DVD but might be in the future.

It appears, though I'm not certain, that it might be available on Kanopy in the US. If you've got access to that (e.g. through your local public library or university login), give it a try.

Response by poster: Thanks, Pinback! My employer does indeed get me into Kanopy, but I don't see the videos. (We may not have access to the full collection.) When holiday break ends, I will ask our faithful library director, Rosie, for some help!
