Brides of Christ (1991) Critically acclaimed Australian mini-series, Brides of Christ, tells the story of Roman Catholic nuns and life at their boarding school during the 1960s. Behind high convent walls, their lives are circumscribed by centuries old traditions, rites and disciplines. But in times of radical change and upheaval, the Brides of Christ are forced to reconcile the conflict between the ancient ways and the new. They are bound by vows which set them apart, yet they must become part of a changing world.Leaving of Liverpool, The (1992) At the time the mini series of Leaving of Liverpool went to air in 1992, The issue of what happened during the Child Migration Schemes of the 1950s had been largely swept under the carpet. A huge national and international controversy followed its broadcast as thousands of victims of the schemes broke the cone of silence that had enclosed them for nearly half a century. Hundreds of thousands of children had been transported from England to the outposts of the Empire. The stories of their suffering in Canada, South Africa and Australia were epitomised in the story of Bert and Lily's transportation from Liverpool England to the labour camp and sheep station servitude in New South Wales.
