Australia In Colour
SBS's ground-breaking new documentary series Australia in Colour tells the story of Australia through a unique collection of iconic archival footage brought to life in stunning colour for the first time. 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.

Workplace laws are less restrictive on women, spouses no longer have to give a reason to divorce, and the contraceptive pill arrives, all of which leads to a loosening of rigid gender roles.
