Public Information Film



I was 11 years old when this Public Information Film was made in 1973. The government back then didn't care how much they scared children shitless...

I don't know where I was but I missed out on these public information films.

The only one I remember is the Grim Reaper ad campaign in 1987 for the Australian anti-AIDS campaign.....that was scary!

I was glad I wasn't a gay man!

Rick - I also remember those films. Wasn't it Patrick Allen who did the voice over?
