Why
The Anti-War Coalition Lutruwita/Tasmania are hosting a timely screening of this 1988 anti-war film set during the original campaign against nuclear proliferation and US military presence in Australia. We will be joined by Rosalie Woodruff and Peter George for conversation and a Q&A about the need for a renewed movement.
Filmed in the mid 1980s, THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS is the story of a family drawn into conflict as the controversy surrounding U.S. nuclear warship visits to the port of Fremantle begins to affect their personal lives. Today, 40 years later, as Australia continues to be tied into U.S, strategies, facilities and weaponry for fighting a nuclear war, this historic film remains disturbingly relevant.The film’s unique mixture of fictional drama and documentary reality explores the parallels between the ties that bind couples and nations. You bring the blanket, we'll sort the warm soup, crusty bread, and hot chocolate.
Funds raised to help with sending delegates to IPAN's National Conference.
Tickets available from Humanitix
