The Serpent's Tooth: Inside the World of Espionage | Real Stories Full-Length Spy Documentary

In each episode of this Award winning series a Person Of Interest is given their previously secret ASIO intellifence file, and asked to respond to the allegations it contains. The four Persons Of Interest are Roger Milliss, Michael Hyde, Gary Foley and Frank Hardy.
For forty years the Australian Intelligence & Security Organistion (ASIO) hunted spies and subversives. In the process it opened files on students, unionists, Aboriginal activists, and writers and as many as half a million other citizens. Persons Of Interest shows how things really happened in this dirty war against dissent. Using actual files, recently discovered secret surveillance film and photographs, these films are the personal stories of lives under the microscope of Government surveillance. In light of the Snowden, NSA scandal and with ASIO possessing more power than ever - Persons Of Interest is a timely addition to the debate.

That was a great documentary. Thanks Real Stories!

Imagine those nosey, intrusive Austin's wanting to poke into the private affairs of people who want to destroy their way of life.

[A__PaAng_]

Pretty good quality of film footage for the 1960s

[Shirley-lock]

We should probaley restart this program. These types of people have gained foot holds and the destruction they cause can be seen clearly.

[chipparker]

Certainly there is much to criticize in the free enterprise capitalism system and Marxist leninism is an appealing system in theory. But after a hundred years of failure and hundreds of millions of lives destroyed or severely damaged it is hard to imagine how an intelligent, honest person could still embrace it.

One of the continuing myths is that commie/socialism is economics, which it is not! Commie/socialism is politics; it is not Christian; it is OTOH, capitalism is just simple Econ 101, price, supply and demand. If someone can produce a good or service that the consumers want at the price that is acceptable, then the economy functions; there is no force involve; no consumer is force to buy and no one is forced to produce, invent, develop or create anything. It is so disappointing that so many people don't grasp this simple truth. In Amerika the commie/socialists, Democrats and Republicrats, control government, the Main Stream Media and education, so it is no surprise that the masses are deceived. The great day will be when an election arrives and the voters don't; they stay home and don't vote.

[donnasherwood]

quite good but way to many interruptions.

[timshields]

good job, ASIO! I hope you guys are still watching them.

[juusohamalainen]

Should we feel sorry about these traitors and their faith. No, I don't think so.

[derekhugh]

acting all sanctimonious meanwhile advocating mass murder, and still not feeling guilty at all.

[icecream]

Damn really appreciate the high quality video. Sometimes, when i tried to watch documentaries from youtube, the quality would be low

[a.p.]

I would assume that all this info collection by aseo was being collected by a KGB agent inside aseo !!!

[jamesskeoch]

You reap what you sow DO NOT COMPLAIN YOU WERE SUSSED

[noreenhoban]

Why is the background music so LOUD! Can hardly make out the dialogue

[VidarrKerr]

Is the information in this video the same, or similar, in the USA? Have they "standardized", or share methods? I am just wondering how much of what is said here can apply to the USA, in more than just a general way. I don't know if anyone has done a thorough investigation into the workings of the Five Eyes. There should be a framework, or foundation, they all share, I think.

[sstritmatter]

Hah - he hated being under surveillance I guess ignorant the Soviets were 10X more on their own commie comrades. Read Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn - it will tell you all you need to know about communism/socialism. The abridged version is fine.

[RustyDog]

Terrible people. I hope they are still being watched.

[pedenmk]

I love these cloak and dagger episodes M8

[MAIDU]

As I watch this extraordinary documentary I can’t help feel that the FEAR factor was extremely ridiculous... This in my eyes now seems close to what Romans did to Christians and what the Catholics did to the Protestants?? I recall a time in my childhood where a racist preacher labeled Martin Luther King as a “Communist”??? I had no idea what a Communist was but the label and individual is so absurd? God loves every human being and sent Salvation to all. 💫🙇🏻‍♀️

[joanhuffman]

Hmm. Has strong objections to intrusive government agencies when they poke into the sordid details of his Own life, but ignores the fact that his whole life he has been advocating for a system which every time it has had control has greater government intrusiveness in the lives of ordinary people. Never sees the irony.
