SYNOPSIS

A story of hidden history, Conscientious Objector tells an untold tale of life on both sides of the battlefield. At the height of Australia’s divisive policies, young Indigenous men are disillusioned by the choices presented to them. For those forced into service, Vietnam serves as the backdrop. For those standing true in their convictions, they must face the man in the mirror and the long arm of the law. While new bonds are born out of tragedy, who will persevere in the face of brutality? Who will win the war within the war?
