Freedom is a 1982 film directed by Scott Hicks, starring Jon Blake and Jad Capelja.[2]
The movie was shot in May to June 1981 in and around Adelaide. Finance was provided by the South Australian Film Corporation, which additional investment from Filmco.[3]
Scott Hick later described making the film as:
A very mixed experience. On the one hand, it was heady and exciting and intoxicating to be making your first feature film but, on the other, there were difficulties in the way the production was organised. The writer, John Emery, and I were kept separate from each other. In retrospect this was a huge blunder because the film was never totally focused in its vision, and I think that's reflected a little in the sort of schizophrenic nature of the film.[4]
