Harvest of Hate is a 1978 Australian film made for TV about Arab terrorists operating in South Australia.

Cast

Plot

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).

Production

The film was shot over three weeks in South Australia in July to August 1977. 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."
