A Time to Speak is a 1965 Australian television film, which aired on ABC. It was a period drama set around 1900. It was written by Noel Robinson.
A doctor stands up to the corrupt leader of a religious community.
One critic called it "a meaty play", and said she "particularly liked the understated ending".
The TV critic for the Sydney Morning Herald said the play was "an uncommonly arresting drama about the conflict of personalities" in which the director "used the austere and sombre setting of a farm community lo good effect. Some of the scenes were rather abrupt, as was the ending, but generally tension was maintained well."
