Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was director Chris McCullough's student film at Sydney's AFTRS, now nearly impossible to find outside archival collections.
Made four years before Australia's 1972 abortion law reforms, the film's pregnancy subplot was legally and socially transgressive for its era.
