Synopsis

1941. A country in crisis. A new man in power. Leadership demands and personal demons are set to collide. The story follows John Curtin during his first six months as Prime Minister, as he confronts in quick succession the tragedy of Pearl Harbour, the fall of Singapore, the bombing of Darwin, and a fierce battle with Churchill over the deployment of Australian troops. This is a raw and intimate portrayal of a driven and inspirational leader—a man who struggles to overcome his own personal demons while serving and protecting a country at war.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
