Five women and one man share their most intimate thoughts about what it was like to be suddenly confronted with an unplanned pregnancy. Their stories reveal the varied and complex circumstances in which people struggle to work through their options and make, what for most, is a difficult choice. Some of the people who share their stories are:
Hiroko	Firak	Catarina

‘RIOT OR REVOLUTION’ a film about the Eureka Stockade, 1854 MORE INFO / PURCHASE ONLINE HERE Produced for ABC -TV Only once in our history have Australians stood under opposing flags and faced each other on a field of battle. It was the Eureka Stockade of 1854 on the Ballarat goldfields in the new colony of Victoria. After the battle, thirteen rebel leaders were charged with high treason. If found guilty, they could hang. Their fate would be in the hands of a jury that had to decide whether the Eureka Stockade was a riot or a revolution. ‘Riot or Revolution’ tells the story of this defining moment in our history, examining the causes of the conflict and exploring its legacy for us today. There are very few photographs of Victoria at the time of Eureka. People drew and wrote about their world. This is the window we have chosen to look through to examine the Eureka legend – that is to say, the film is largely constructed around the actual words and pictures that people at the time created in order to record their lives and tell the story of Eureka. As the caption at the start of the film says – “the lines spoken by actors in this film are the documented words of the historical characters”. This is a film grounded in primary source material.
