The Pursuit of
Happiness

Filmed in the mid 1980s, THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS is the story of a family drawn into conflict as the controversy surrounding U.S. nuclear warship visits to the port of Fremantle begins to affect their personal lives.

Today, 40 years later, as Australia continues to be tied into U.S, strategies, facilities and weaponry for fighting a nuclear war, this historic film remains disturbingly relevant.

The film’s unique mixture of fictional drama and documentary reality explores the parallels between the ties that bind couples and nations.
