What does it mean to be a citizen soldier in Australia? This 1972 documentary takes you inside the world of the Citizen Military Forces (CMF), the part-time soldiers who balance civilian careers with military service.
Through candid interviews and vivid training scenes, Citizen Soldier explores why men and women volunteer, the challenges they face with employers and family life, and the skills they gain along the way. It offers a rare glimpse of Australia’s defence culture during the Vietnam War era, when questions of national security and self-reliance were front of mind.
