LatestFrom the riots that inspired mardi gras, to homophobia in the 1980s, celebrities coming out in the 1990s and monumental stand-offs in the most powerful corridors of power just last decade, the 2017 vote for marriage equality in Australia is the story of a changing nation. From a place where being gay was still against the law, to one where everyone is now equal, this episode features perspectives from all sides of the Same Sex Marriage issue, and uses the window of popular culture to look at the key events and characters that tested our ‘fair go’ nation.
This 8 part series takes an in-depth look at the critical turning points in Australia’s history, from natural disasters to social upheavals, through the lens of hindsight. Combining rich, never-before-seen archival footage with candid interviews, the series investigates not just what happened, but how these events fundamentally altered the country and its people.
