My Boy Jack on PBS in the USA
Americans know Rudyard Kipling for the Jungle books and 'If'. Now we know what a complicated character he was and how human, flawed and loving he was. How could anyone who loved their son as much as Kipling did consciously send him off to war? Did Kipling love his country more than his son? Did he even know his son? And John, nicknamed Jack, just like President Kennedy, was the bravest man of his day, did he realize the sacrifices he faced? Especially that of his life? This movie poses these questions but like my definition of excellent film, allows you to answer for yourself and the characters stay with you long after the credits roll.
