“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
Stephen King
The Project June 2, 2020 Hosts Waleed Aly, Carrie Bickmore and Peter Helliar are joined by Nakkiah Lui in a special edition of The Project to discuss America in "crisis" after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis; Black Lives Matter protests in the US and Australia; Indigenous deaths in custody in Australia; calls for more respect for Indigenous culture; and some of the "inspiring" speeches that "united" Australia and why we still need them. https://www.enhancetv.com.au/video/the-project-june-2-2020/65255 Hive brings us the story of Hayley, a teenager who lives in a strange and alternative hexagonal world.
The world Hayley inhabits involves her caring for bees. This is an extremely ordered world, where rules are to be followed and routines strictly adhered to. Hayley believes there is no other world out there than the one she lives in. Hayley’s world changes when she spies a drip in the ceiling. Suddenly her outlook is changed, but in Hayley’s world it does not pay to be inquisitive about the world you live in. The drip marks the beginning of a number of changes to Hayley’s life and the world of those living in her community. First there is the drip, which is followed by a death and before Hayley knows it, a loophole has been exposed. Hive is deadly, perplexing and utterly intriguing. |
