In 1970 two women named Phylis Papps and Francesca Curtis came out to the world live on television, this would change their life and the world we know forever.

They brought the word lesbian into every household in Australia on a show called "This Day Tonight". At peak viewing time, at 7.30 pm, Phylis and Francesca came out to the world. They were the first lesbian couple to come out on TV using their full faces and identities. There would be no secrets for them anymore...

Today we're speaking with AP, Abbie Pobjoy, a filmmaker who spent years by Phylis and Francesca's side, capturing an honest and beautiful documentary about their love, and their lives together.

This is a Small Talks episode of Shut Up She's Talking.
