Through the Grapevine

• Watchlist

In the 1990s, beloved Dookie primary school teacher Peter McManus abruptly abandoned his job to become a winery grape-grower. Even more astonishing was the fact that Peter's new employer was a hitchhiking businessman, who Peter had encountered on the side of the road one fateful evening. However, this was far from the first time that Peter made a bold choice in his life. From his record-breaking blood donations to his ongoing local charity work, Peter's life philosophy has been to embrace opportunities and to live life for others - and he considers himself all the richer for it. Through a captivating story, moving interviews and stunningly creative visuals, this short documentary reveals the powerful influence that each of us has over everyone around us... and how one humble country bloke has harnessed this potential for the greater good.
