Insight host Kumi Taguchi will be moderating a forum titled “Thanks Boomers” on SBS tonight. The episode aims to shed light on the often misunderstood Baby Boomer generation and their significant contributions to social change.
Throughout the program, viewers will have the opportunity to hear from single mothers who defied societal pressure to abort or give up their babies for adoption. These courageous individuals chose to keep their children and navigate the challenges of single parenthood.
Additionally, one of the first Matildas (members of Australia’s national women’s soccer team) will share her experiences of playing at a time when women’s football was still in its nascent stages. This pioneering generation of Boomers played an instrumental role in shaping women’s sports and paving the way for future generations.
Insight also highlights other trailblazing Boomers who challenged taboos across various domains such as religion, gender, and sexuality. Their stories serve as reminders of how far society has progressed while raising questions about the extent of these transformations.
Tune in tonight on SBS at 8:30pm for this thought-provoking exploration into the impact of Baby Boomers’ actions and how they have shaped our present-day society.
