Event Description
Discover rich heritage and culture and experience Australian stories as never before at History Through Film.
In The Prime Ministers' National Treasures, Award winning cartoonist and yarn-spinner Warren Brown takes us on a surprising journey into the hearts and minds of Australia’s Prime Ministers. After months spent foraging through the nation’s archives, Brown unearths an array of 10 extraordinary objects with countless secrets to tell - Harold Holt’s last days as revealed in the items he kept in his briefcase; hundreds of passionate love letters Joseph Lyons wrote to his wife; John Curtin’s Australian Journalists' Association badge, worn every day whilst he was in office, and many more. These treasures reveal the nation’s leaders as you have never seen them before.
Come along to watch this intriguing documentary and find out more. After the session, we can also show you how to stream even more documentaries and films from home using your library card, absolutely free.
