In 1940s Australia, before the advent of television, Len Maguire (Bill Hunter) and his young sidekick, Chris (Chris Haywood), cover the big news stories for the Cinetone newsreel company – but times are changing and Len struggles to maintain his principles. This award-winning classic film, directed by Phillip Noyce, makes extensive use of real newsreels, shifting effortlessly between black-and-white and colour.
