Told through a unique collection of iconic archival footage brought to life in stunning colour for the very first time, Australia in Colour tells the story of how Australia came to be what it is today. Narrated by Hugo Weaving, the series is a reflection on our nation’s character, its attitudes, its politics and its struggle to value its Indigenous and multicultural past. Australia in Colour gives us a chance to look at Australia’s history from a fresh perspective. This four-part series curates classic historical footage, as well as home movies and never-before-seen archival material to chart how Australia has developed as a nation. From the oldest surviving footage captured in Australia – in 1896 in Sydney’s Prince Alfred Park – to the beginning of colour television in the mid-1970s, each sequence has been lovingly restored and colourised with historical accuracy. The effect is remarkable, bringing to light history that is both shared and deeply personal.
There's been no one quite like Paul Keating. Leaving school at age fourteen, he joined the Labor Party soon after, and thus began a remarkable and tumultuous forty-year journey into history as one of Australia's most significant and contentious political leaders. In this candid four-part interview series with Kerry O'Brien, Keating reveals the forces that shaped his ambitions, and the inside stories of perhaps the most intense and painful period of economic and social reform in Australian history, including the triumphs and the tears of his highly successful but explosive relationship with Bob Hawke. This unique series has many unforgettable moments. No other Prime Minister has revealed so much of themselves or their craft to the camera. Paul Keating lived by the sword and died by the sword, believing "we all get carried out in the end."
