OVERVIEW

Aussie Salvage Squad is classic observational documentary storytelling. The overarching narrative explores what happens when the Australian landscape collides with home and humanity - and what it takes to keep our coastlines safe.

The program documents the time critical work of the men and women of Geographe Marine Salvage and Rescue (GMSR) – they are our narrators and through them we’re drawn into the world of extreme marine salvage and rescue. We capture action as it happens and real-life stories as they naturally unfold. And every operation comes with natural adversaries, including equipment failure, the weather and marine and environmental hazards. Contemporary filming techniques, including drone work, non-invasive go-pro vest camera filming and off the shoulder recording, draws the viewer in.
