Documentary about post war immigration into Australia 1945 to 1958 made in 1983

An excellent 25 minute documentary about Australia's post-War immigration program that saw a million newcomers arrive in Australia between 1945 and 1958.
I love the use of old footage and interviews with the former Minister for Immigration, Hubert Opperman, and old footage of Arthur Calwell.

A highlight is found from 17:03 to 19:24 when, in an enactment, two bigoted old Australians who object to newcomers not speaking English find themselves transported, Twilight Zone-like, to a non-English speaking country where they have to adjust to not speaking the local language.

Also, there is a terrific interview with a young Greek brother and sister in Fitzroy. I think the young bloke is the celebrated Melbourne poet Pi O.

It is a basic straightforward chronological documentary and very informative. Of course, being made 40 years ago, it can be subjected to critical appraisal too - but it was excellent for its time.
