Tane’s War
In 1953, Briar is a dreamer whose behaviour sees him sent to a training farm to be turned into a man. The plan backfires when his arrival awakens feelings in Aussie, the assistant shearer.
Tane, now an elderly foreman on the farm, recognises the connection for what it is, seeing in the two boys, a mirror of his past. When the boys’ relationship is exposed, a mob attacks them and Tane is again confronted with a choice. He cannot change his past but perhaps he can help change the future.
