The War That Changed the World

Available for over a year

An indigenous Australian who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s explains how his family fought in both the First and Second World Wars, but he was told at school that Aboriginals couldn't possibly have played a role. This audience member in The War That Changed The World's recording in Sydney tells us of his experience of learning history at school. (Photo: The beach at Gallipoli) (Credit: Getty)
