David Bradbury writes:
"With the conviction that these stories had to be told and edited together, we managed to stitch together these two films which dovetail nicely into each other, and very timely in the light of the Chilcot report and denials by war criminal John Howard and Blair.
Quaker Grannies (17 min): Three Quaker Grannies set up their tea and lamingtons at the gates of Shoalwater Bay Training Base in Central Queensland and wait for military personnel to meet with them to have dialogue about peace in the Quaker tradition
War On Trial(51 min): Since the eighties there have been scores of disarmament actions in the Ploughshare tradition: In the words of the Old Testament prophets Isaiah and Micah, we are called to be peacemakers to … beat swords into ploughshares and spears into pruninghooks.
This film looks at how following the disabling of a Tiger attack helicopter in Rockhampton activists Brian Law and Graeme Dunstan put government and the helicopter on trial.
