Jelly Game

The team from 'PrimeLine' TV have pretty well sewn up the 'jelly game', that dubious area of journalism featuring Elvis, aliens and sex scandals, but they're made for better things.

When a new Japanese sponsor insists that they cover an important Antarctica ecology conference in New Zealand, they determine to show their true documentary-making skills.

The author has spent twenty years wrestling with the dark side of film and documentary making. Some of this story could even be true. All of the facts are.
