Australia’s leader during the Great War has a recurring nightmare about his political and personal past wherein he faces the flaws in his glass.
To many, Billy Hughes was nothing more than “a dirty little rat” who tore open the fabric of our society during and after the Great War. To others, he was the outstanding statesman of his age. Whatever – he cannot be ignored.
“A well made historical drama … finds a sharp dramatic contrast between opposing perspectives on the war and skillfully portrays the complex realities behind the Anzac legend.” – Cam Woodhead (The Age) on Patient 12 by Kevin Summers
