From the Australian anthology series “More Winners” “More Winners” is an anthology series of six quite different telemovies, shot and set in different parts of Australia. Ranging across comedy, drama, suspense, historical drama, adventure, fantasy, and social realism, these diverse stories explore issues such as friendship, independence, competition, decision making and conflict. “Boy Soldiers” 1910 legislation in Australia required boys between 14 and 17 to register for compulsory military training. Will Barnes, a brave 14-year-old conscientious objector, refused. A well-acted, although somewhat brief film, about a courageous youth in Australia, just before the outbreak of World War I, who refused to comply with mandatory conscription at a time when conscientious objection was not an option. |
