Ripples of Wartime - Lynn Arnold
Interview with Lynn Arnold, anti-war activist.
This is one of a series of short videos presenting some diverse perspectives on impacts of the Vietnam War. Collectively titled Ripples of Wartime, the videos were commissioned by Brink Theatre Company in Adelaide and initially presented in association with a play about the battle of Long Tan.
Original caption from production:
LYNN ARNOLD, ANTI-VIETNAM WAR ACTIVIST
Lynn Arnold was deeply disturbed by television coverage of the Vietnam War when he was still at high school. Later, as a student at Adelaide University, he assumed a prominent role in campaigning against the war, collaborating with other activists from a diverse range of backgrounds and political positions. The experience of this long campaign informed his subsequent career as a politician, including a term as Premier of South Australia in the early 1990s.
