This episode takes the broad topic of the Vietnam War and focuses its investigation on why Australia became involved in the war and how and why public resistance to that involvement grew in Australia. Archival footage transports students back to the decade 1962-1972 as the program encourages an understanding of the motives and attitudes of the government and people during what was Australia's longest war commitment. The aim of this program is to provide an investigation of Australia's involvement in the Vietnam war...why did we become involved? What were the arguments against our involvement? And how did the anti-war movement bring about change.
