Summary Introduced by Deborra-lee Furness and featuring John Hawkes, Helen Hunt and William H. Macy.This week's Australian Story is about two filmmakers who've suddenly hit the big time in Hollywood. Ben Lewin and Judi Levine made a number of successful films in Australia and Europe before moving to Los Angeles seventeen years ago. But their rise to the top was not easy and for many years they struggled, taking on other jobs just to make ends meet. Now, backed by family and friends, they have put together a low budget movie and attracted some major marquee names to appear in it. Called 'The Sessions', it's already received considerable acclaim and is now being tipped as an Academy Awards contender.'The Year of Living Famously' reveals the story behind the surprise hit of the Oscars season..
