SBS On Demand: new this week
Australia’s Greek Cafés & Milk Bars: Shaken & Stirred – 20 April
Before the golden arches, before the coffee chains, before Australia embraced the world on a plate, there was the Greek café and milk bar.
These shops were scattered across every suburb and country town and didn’t just serve milkshakes and mixed grills. They revolutionised what Australians ate, where they gathered and how they understood community.
Australia’s Greek Cafés & Milk Bars tells the remarkable story of migrants who left Greece to escape war and poverty in search of a better life, arriving in Australia with little more than determination and a willingness to work all hours.

The Audacity – 15 April

Through biting satire and wit, The Audacity confronts reality, privacy and the delusions fuelling our ever-changing world.
