Product Overview

Opal Fever highlights that mining a natural resource is not just a job but a lifestyle choice that for many can border on obsession. The series also provides classes with the opportunity to discuss life in a remote community that is based around one industry. Mike and Corey Piper and Vicki Harris from Piper Films called Coober Pedy home for six months while they were making Opal Fever, a four-part documentary series for the ABC series Reality Bites.
