The year 1932 was a year that would expose Australia's hypocrisies and inequalities like no other.

    Yet it was also a year that would see stories of daunting courage and endurance as ordinary Australians weathered the global catastrophe of the Great depression.

    It would prove a critical turning point for a country balanced between its colonial past and its independent future.

     Stone puts a spotlight on Australia that year, with Lang dismissed, de Groot and the opening of the bridge, fascist 'New Guard' organisations, hunting a brutal murderer, the death of Phar Lap – “truly one hell of a year”.
