The Draft Resistor "The Draft Resistor" is a feature film currently in production. Shooting began in March 2013 in Ballarat. Canberra, 1971.

Starring David Gourley, Nina Lim, Robert McGuinness, Marcus McKenzie, Peter Flaherty and Louise Purcell. A time of political and social upheaval. Adam is a draft resistor, choosing to abandon his teaching course and hide out in a lakeside caravan park rather than participating in the Vietnam War, but he cannot resist the temptation to attend the local demonstrations against war and racism. A chanc

e meeting with Rose, the leader of the university’s women’s liberation group, indirectly leads to him being imprisoned. Pat, an aboriginal activist, is campaigning against racism when he meets Cecilia, a philosophy student, and they form a valuable friendship. Pat’s involvement in the land rights demonstration outside Parliament House helps bring down the conservative government. As a result of Labor’s win, Adam is released from prison, but it is Pat who gets the blame when Adam is attacked by Marcus, a rival for Rose’s love, shortly after his release.
