OHMS!…Organisation to Halt Military Service –
Our documentary which screened in the Doc Edge Festival 2023, focuses on the power of activism. Students, peace activists & conscious objectors took to the streets to overthrow Compulsory Military Training 50 years ago.
The Vietnam war was raging. The streets were full of protesters.
One of them, teenager Robert Reid and other like-minded students set up OHMS, Organisation to Halt Military Service…(nothing to do with royalty!). As Robert explains if you know physics, OHMS is the symbol for resistance.
