The Chifleys of Busby Street is a documentary that weaves the life of Ben Chifley with the fabric of post-war Australia. It captures his journey from the humble beginnings as a railway engine-driver to becoming Prime Minister, a role he took on with genuine empathy and a commitment to the people. The film's pacing allows for a reflective exploration of his principles and the socio-political landscape of the time, which feels quite poignant. The atmosphere is infused with a sense of nostalgia but also a rawness that resonates. There aren’t flashy effects or dramatizations; rather, it’s the interviews and archival footage that really ground you in Chifley’s legacy. It's thought-provoking, showcasing a distinct blend of personal and political narrative.
