매너 농장(Manor Farm)의 가축들은 농장 주 존스 씨의 숨이 막힐 듯한 경영에 지쳐있다. 더 이상 참을 수 없는 지경에 이르자 농장에서 가장 머리가 좋은 것으로 알려진 돼지 스노우볼과 나폴레옹이 농장의 동물들을 모아 놓고 존스 씨와 그의 부인을 농장에서 쫓아내자고 설득한다. 결국 농장주 부부를 쫓아낸 동물들은 자신들이 장악한 새로운 농장의 주인은 동물이며, 따라서 모든 동물은 평등하다라는 신조 아래 그들만의 사회를 건설하기 시작한다. 동물들끼리의 삶은 잠시동안 만족스럽게 지속된다. 그러나 시간이 지나면서 농장의 리더들에게서 존스와 똑같은 모습이 보이기 시작한다.
The True Believers is a 1988 Australian mini series which looks at the history of the Australian Labor Party from the end of World War Two up to the Australian Labor Party split of 1955. It was co-written by Bob Ellis who focused on three characters "Chifley, the unlettered man of great dignity; Menzies, who used to stand for something but eventually stood only for Menzies; and Evatt, the grand idealist... It's almost like Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1. It's a chunk of national history during Australia's great era of change after the war."
In the year of the presidential elections in the US, journalist Eelco Bosch van Rosenthal and director Hans Pool sketch a portrait of the most activist generation since the 1970s: Generation Z.
