Who Were The Australian Cold War Spies?

Synopsis

Australian Cold War spies are examined through the lens of four individuals-Roger Milliss, Michael Hyde, Gary Foley, and Frank Hardy-who confront their previously secret ASIO intelligence files. For four decades, the Australian Intelligence and Security Organisation monitored a wide range of citizens, including students, unionists, and activists, amassing files on nearly half a million people. This series reveals the personal impact of government surveillance, utilizing actual files and recently uncovered footage, while contributing to ongoing discussions about privacy and state power in the modern era.
