Anti-Vietnam War march

Watch this silent film of a 1967 anti-Vietnam march leaving Wellington’s Victoria University for a rally at Parliament. Banners with slogans like ‘This is an Unjust War’ and ‘All You Need is Love’ were used to solicit public support. It is led by students carrying a coffin symbolising the casualties of war.
