AT THE END OF THE DAY is the Australian episode from a series of documentaries on the lives of ten families from ten different countries. The Australian episode takes you into the home of the Coles family. Jenni and Michael have children from each of their first marriages and children from this marriage. Conscious that Australia can no longer guarantee the future for its children that it once did, the Coles' have moved from the city to the country to undertake a venture which they hope will be long-term and provide for the children as they grow up - the farming and distribution of water chestnuts.
