“Come with us and slow down,” host Aaron Pedersen beckons in the opening moments of ABC’s new series Back to Nature. His voice plays over a montage showcasing Australia’s natural beauty: babbling brooks, lush rainforests, birdsong. Each image lingers; there are no fast cuts, no blink-and-you’ll-miss-it edits.

The title examines the PTSD in military veterans and how an innovative equine welfare program provides hope and healing for both veterans and ex-racehorses.

Escapade Media has secured the worldwide rights from Melbourne-based director and producer Nick Barkla’s Staunch Films for the documentary The Healing.
