Aboriginal Activist Reads His Intelligence File: Australia's Black Panthers | Full Spy Documentary

In this series, a ‘person of interest’ is given their previously secret Australian intelligence file and recounts the allegations contained within it. Gary Foley - a prominent figure of the 1970s "Black Power" movement in Australia - spent many years being spied on by the ASIO. Inspired by the American Black Panther party and the struggle against Apartheid in South Africa, Foley and his contemporaries spent many years campaigning for the rights of Aboriginal Australians - organising multiple protests in the country from the early 70s. In this episode, watch how Gary Foley - whilst under the constant surveillance of the ASIO - fought for the rights of the Aboriginal community. These are highly personal stories taken from ASIO intelligence files from the Cold War and its aftermath, through to the decades of student radicalism and dissent of the 1960’s and 70’s - a time when fear of Communism, outsiders, and perceived threats to the established order fostered a secret network of surveillance on ordinary Australian citizens. This documentary was produced by Gai Steele and directed by Haydyn Keen. It was first released in 2014. ------- Bear witness to monumental moments in human history, and human's most terrible crimes.
