30th Anniversary Special
Thursday 28 July 8.00pm
Foreign Correspondent celebrates its 30ᵗʰ year on air with a one-hour special chronicling the extraordinary changes that have transformed our world over the past three decades.
From stories about revolution and war, terrorism and survival, desperation and inspiration, we’ll
be delving deep into our rich archive to bring you our most compelling stories about the people and the forces shaping our world.We’ll talk to our correspondents, past and present, about being on the ground as they reported history in the making including Eric Campbell, Lisa Millar, Tony Jones, Jennifer Byrne, Mark Corcoran, Sally Neighbour, Matthew Carney and Deborah Snow as well as founding executive producer Jonathan Holmes.
Through this tumultuous 30 years, Foreign Correspondent has been Australia’s window on the world. Our stories have followed the disintegration of the Soviet empire and the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, to China’s astonishing social and economic transformation and the emergence of climate change as a powerful force likely to shape the 21ˢᵗ century.
With Putin’s shocking invasion of Ukraine and the rising power of China in our region, Australian audiences are hungrier than ever for in-depth, on-the-ground reporting to help them understand what’s happening and why and most of all, to hear the human stories behind global events.
