HE'S COMING SOUTH: THE ATTACK ON SYDNEY HARBOUR lifts the lid on the mystery of one of Australia’s most significant wartime episodes, the surprise Sydney Harbour attack by Japanese midget submarines on May 31, 1942. This documentary meticulously and vividly recreates the final moments of this compelling, yet often forgotten, story as six Japanese in three midget submarines embarked on a daring mission to attack Allied warships at anchor in Sydney Harbour, bringing World War II and the threat of a real invasion to our doorstep.
