The Aussie Who Baffled the World

This is the extraordinary true story of Australian wildlife cinematographer and inventor Jim Frazier, and his fight to keep his crowning achievement, the impossible lens, from being taken away.

You may not know the name Jim Frazier, but you've already seen through his eyes. He's the man who made Spielberg's dinosaurs seem real in The Lost World, and who made James Cameron's Titanic seem to truly be sinking.

One of only two Australians to have won an Oscar and an Emmy, Jim's visionary work has paved the way for much of the world's cutting-edge optics technology. But after the highs of global accolades, career success and creative freedom, his world collapsed in the face of unwinnable corporate lawsuits and the hijacking of his patented invention.
