Event Description

Discover rich heritage and culture at our monthly History Through Film sessions.

This month, join us to watch the fascinating and moving docu-series 'Yesterday is History'.

Narrated by Ray Martin, this two-part series showcases two Australian families and their survival through the worst world wars in history. The stories are told by the family members and then dramatically re-created for the modern audience. Last month, we watched part one. This month, the story continues with Englishman, William Philbrook's journey through WWII and his eventual migration to Australia.

Enjoy a free screening in the comfort of Melton Library. After the session, we can also show you how to stream even more documentaries and films from home using your library card, absolutely free.
