An autobiographical account of the toll war takes on its veterans, told through the eyes of 17 year-old Doug, sent by his stoic father to work the land with Jack, a war veteran, during a harsh, hot summer.
An unlikely friendship develops between the 38 year old battler of the bush and bottle, and the curious, hormonally charged teen. Combining lyrical, poetic stories of war and tales of Doug’s fathers’ bravery, Uncle Jack is a coming of age tale told in perfect timing with the centenary of the ANZACs.
Featuring extracts from Lieutenant Colonel William (Bill) Lonnie C.V.O.,C.B.E.,M.C. real wartime journal, this snapshot of Australian wartime history is an account of how storytelling and distance can change our perception of the men we think we know.
Ages: Contains coarse language.
