Students, conscientious objectors and peace activists: Robert Reid and his activist mates set up OHMS — not On Her Majesty's Service but Organisation to Halt Military Service. They began a series of creative disruptive activities up and down Aotearoa to overthrow Compulsory Military Training.
Written and directed by Anna Cottrell, the 30-minute documentary OHMS! PROTEST! tells their entertaining stories. Featuring interviews with those involved it is a reminder of the power of activism and ordinary people standing up for what they believe in.
Anna is running a Boosted campaign to pay off the last invoices for this entirely self-funded documentary.
