Urban Warfare
The premise of the film is that peace starts at home, or conversely that terror starts at home and uses humour to highlight the theme. This film is from SEDITIOUS INTENT, a compilation of films inspired by Australia’s Anti-Terrorism Bill - some sad, some funny, some downright shocking. Dissent is an essential part of democracy. But under the Anti-Terrorism legislation, the right to oppose or challenge the State is significantly compromised.

Full description
The
Seditious Intent Short Film project was initiated in late October 2005.
A call out was sent to filmmakers to produce a short work that was
inspired by the anti-terror laws. The following 17 short films were
selected from the submissions.
For details about the background of the project, and more info on the Sedition legislation, please visit: http://spinach7.com/si/background.html
The
Anti-Terrorism bill, though passed in December 2005, is now under
review by the Australian Law Reform Commission. You can make a public
submission regarding this legislation through their website here: http://www.alrc.gov.au/inquiries/current/sedition/comments.htm
There is a good article explaining what the laws mean here on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_sedition_law
