Gary Foley : Fighting for truth, justice and the Aboriginal way -- Bronwyn Penrith : Miracle child -- Gary Williams : A lot of stuff just happens.
The Sixties - an era of protest, free love, civil disobedience, duffel coats, flower power, giant afros and desert boots, all recorded on grainy black and white film footage marked a turning point for change. Radicals found their voices and used them. While the initial trigger for protest was opposition to the Vietnam War, this anger quickly escalated to include Aboriginal Land Rights, Women's Liberation, Gay Liberation, Apartheid, and 'workers' control'. In Radicals some of the people doing the changing -- including Meredith Burgmann, Nadia Wheatley, David Marr, Geoffrey Robertson and Gary Foley -- reflect on how the decade changed them and society forever.
