  • Additional information

Set in a regional coastal town, War Crimes tells a powerful story of five disenfranchised young women who are fighting for respect, railing against authority and struggling to form an identity in a small town with limited opportunities. The relocation of an Iraqi refugee family to the town provokes a climate of hostility and tension that threatens to violently explode.

War Crimes continues Betzien’s trademark technique of using real events as pretexts for the creation of relevant and provocative contemporary Australian drama.
