Todd Sampson challenges conventional thinking in new ABC series WHY? – Todd Sampson is set to challenge audiences once again when his new series WHY? premieres Tuesday 24 February at 8.30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
In a world increasingly divided by uncertainty and judgement, WHY? steps into the grey. Across the series, Sampson immerses himself in lives shaped by belief, obsession, conviction and risk, meeting people whose choices are confronting and sometimes deeply unsettling.
Rather than asking whether they are right or wrong, this series asks something far more intriguing: WHY?
Each episode explores a different moral and psychological frontier, from Donor Dads to Doomsday Preppers, Alien Church worshippers to BASE jumpers, inviting audiences to sit with discomfort, challenge assumptions and reflect on the instincts that shape human behaviour.
As Sampson explains:
“some “whys” may never be fully answered. Some may be hard to swallow, but it’s through understanding others that we may better understand ourselves.”
This series resists simple answers, instead, offering insight into the fears, desires and beliefs that quietly drive us all.
