Fading Away
Monday's Four Corners report 'Fading Away' by Grace Tobin profiles the Australian mums fighting to keep their children alive.
For months reporter Grace Tobin and the team followed families as they struggled to get the right treatment for life-threatening eating disorders.
With more than one million Australians estimated to be living with an eating disorder at any time, they are also one of the deadliest of all mental illnesses.
The program explores the complexities of the illness and reveals a health system appallingly underprepared to deal with this crisis.
For 23-year-old Sara, who compares her eating disorder to a "monster", the solution is not as simple as just eating.
"It's so much more than just the actual food. For me, when I have food, there's so much guilt and shame and anxiety around it. That doesn't just go away if you eat the food," Sara says.
Her mother Jenny lives in fear, "I come home thinking, ‘Is she going to be collapsed on the floor or is she going to be okay?' ... She could die from it."
Another mother, Faye lost her daughter Caitlin after a 16-year battle with the disease. "She gave up on the system. The system is broken. It's so broken," she tells Four Corners.

Road Wars
Roadways can be a wild place. With violent road rage incidents increasing 500% over the last decade, "road raging" is a human behavior that has become widely known. Road Wars takes a deep dive into American roadways, examining extreme human behavior, wild weather, insane accidents and a few welcome instances of acts of kindness.
Storage Wars
Storage Wars follows professional buyers and their teams as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure. Part gamblers, part detectives, these auction pros have found everything from coffins to the world's most valuable comic book collection, paying as little as ten dollars for items valued in the millions.
Each episode of Storage Wars follows a group of bidders as they get a quick peek inside the units, aided only by the beam of a flashlight. They then must assess on the spot if the unit is worth a bid and how high they will actually go to grasp the gold. The high-stakes fun begins as we see if the resulting buy is full of mostly trash... or true treasure.
