Thank you for the response. I'll be reading through some newspapers.

Newspapers. Any story that runs for more than 3 days is with looking at.

How about the bloke who net his son would win the golf open before he was 25 when his kid was 15? He's just scooped $200k. There's a story with engagement possibilities - faith, support, pressure, father/son dynamic at the boy's most formative years, etc.

Ned, it's worth doing a little more research on this aspect of documentary filmmaking as subject matter is often half the work of producing a worthwhile documentary.
