"Breaking the Cycle", reported by: Grace Tobin....

I've never met anyone like the women in this week's story.

They're young, pregnant and addicted.

One sits beside me on a bed, her hand resting on her belly as she describes her use of methamphetamines and cannabis.

"I never wanted to be a pregnant drug user," she says.

It's a moment I can't forget.

Amid Australia's decade-long battle with ice, thousands of babies are born each year exposed to their mother's drug use.

These women let us into their lives as they desperately try to get help for themselves and their unborn children.

Four Corners reveals a system largely unwilling to deal with the health crisis — but there is some hope.

The Twelve

Twelve citizens are called for jury duty on a high-profile murder trial as traumatizing as it is controversial, in which a woman stands accused of killing her sister's child.

As time goes by, the murder trial becomes a trial, not only for the accused, but for the jury members themselves.

Behind the façade of their anonymity, these twelve ordinary people bring with them their own histories. Lives that are as complex as the trial, full of fractured dreams, shameful secrets, hope, fears, personal trauma and prejudice.
