The True Believers

★ 7.0/10 TMDB Premiered 1988-06-28 1 season 8 eps

Award winning mini-series about the men and events that shaped Australia's post war history from 1945 1955. The series focuses on three men: Ben Chifley, Robert Menzies and H. V. "Doc" Evatt, and shows how the fabric of Australian democracy was almost wrecked by the idealism of good but troubled men.

Following the Petov Affair, Evatt promises pension rises, the abolition of means tests and tax cuts. Noone believes him (even in his own party) and Menzies wins again. Disaffected Victorian ALP members split the party to form the DLP.
