- One Cup is an Australian short documentary film, produced and released by Scarab Studio & Mutiny Media. Filmed in the mountains of Timor-Leste in January 2006, One Cup offers insight into the struggles of coffee farming in the poorest country in Asia. Among the everyday difficulties described by coffee producer communities, health concerns are paramount. Featuring then Foreign Minister José Ramos-Horta, Oxfam Program Director Keryn Clark and scores of Timorese coffee farmers, One Cup illustrates the benefits offered by the international Fair Trade system. One Cup is a reminder of the ever increasing need for support for the millions of third and developing world farmers across the globe. Unlike the documentary film Black Gold (2006), which looks at the issues around Fair Trade One Cup tends to more show the positive benefits of the Fair Trade system, a positive balance to the other film.

- "On the Tram" is a short story told in first-person perspective. It describes a man standing on a tram platform, contemplating the uncertainties of his place in the world. At one point, a woman approaches the tram and the narrator is struck by her vibrance. The story focuses on images of the uncertainty of existence and one's purpose in the world, and the tone is contemplative and existential. The man on the tram cannot even defend the fact that he is on the tram, holding onto the strap, and watching people move about in the streets. When he sees the woman, however, his perspective changes. The narrator sees the girl "as distinctly as if [he] had run [his] hands over her." He goes on to describe the woman's physical attributes with incredible detail, from her clothing to her hair. He ends his contemplation by wondering, "How is it that she is not astonished at herself, that she keeps her lips closed and says nothing of that kind?" Although the narrator does not understand his own place in the world, he understands the woman's with strange clarity.
