One of the great unseen political epics of Australian TV, True Believers was an account of the Labor Party in the decade after World War 2, focusing on the towering political personalities of the day, Ben Chifley and H V Evatt, and their nemesis Robert Menzies. Starring Ed Devereaux and a host of other iconic Australian actors, the series was written by the great Bob Ellis and marks a high point in political television drama.Sadly, the series has been largely unseen since its first screening as it’s locked in a rights battle which shows no signs of abating. This rip is from archive files; some of the series has turned up on Youtube from a similar source, but it’s completely butchered. This is the complete series and is incredibly rare.
According to Ellis the series focuses on “Chifley, the unlettered man of great dignity; Menzies, who used to stand for something but eventually stood only for Menzies; and Evatt, the grand idealist. It’s almost like Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part I. It’s a chunk of national history during Australia’s great era of change after the War”.
