Using eyewitness accounts and recently discovered confidential documents, this documentary reveals the truth behind a campaign to keep
Australia a whites-only country for much of this century. Successive Australian governments pursued a secret policy of barring entry to any race of people they considered undesirable. Fostered by careful propaganda, by legislation and by the secret actions of bureaucrats and politicians, the policy remained intact for more than 70 years.
