Harvest of Hate is a 1978 Australian film made for TV about Arab terrorists operating in South Australia. [3]
A wealthy winemaker sends a lawyer and a surveyor-geologist to review a property in the Simpson Desert, but in the process, they are captured by Arab terrorists who are preparing to invade a middle eastern country.
The film was made as part of a South Australian Film Corporation three picture tele-movie series alongside The Plumber (1979) and The Sound of Love (1978).
The film was shot over three weeks in South Australia in July to August 1977. [1] It was directed by Michael Thornhill who said it "was a gun-for-hire job. I didn't complete the film. They re-edited and I just walked away." [4]
