    • THE TELEGRAM MAN

    Director James Khehtie | Australia | 14 min

    Adapted from a short story by John Boyne, the award-winning author of “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas”, The Telegram Man tells the story of how war inexorably spreads its tentacles well beyond the battlefield to a rural Australian town, where one family each week discovered that their son or husband or brother or father would not be coming home. In the throes of such grief, one seldom considers the man who delivers the news – the telegram man.
