Summary Peter FitzSimons discovers that the Anzac heroes of the Great War are Australia's most enthusiastic race rioters - but also capable of reconciliation with their enemies. After WW1 ends, thousands of returned soldiers return home eager to get on with their lives. But home has changed, and so have they. The horrors of trench warfare coupled with a vehement distrust of communism explode in Brisbane in March 1919 into a week of mob violence. (Part 2 of 3) (Commissioned by SBS) (Documentary) M (A,V) CC
