This felt a bit like a real-life Aussie version of 'The Americans'.
It's refreshing to watch such a well-made documentary about real-life espionage in Australian history. Most of the time, such documentaries or TV shows concentrate on US-Russia, or UK-Russia etc. So this is a rare find!
It's engaging throughout its short runtime. It features a host of the usual tradecraft and shady characters associated with spy films - but it all really happened.
The few experts interviewed gave fascinating insights; in particular the unnamed former ASIO agent. Highly recommend for those after a short documentary on the espionage world in Australia.
Plot summary
During the 60's - for two years, Australias security service, ASIO, secretly filmed meetings between a KGB officer, and his British-born agent. Unknown to the officer, a double agent - code name Sylvia. 60 years on, new evidence occur.
