Synopsis:

It's 1942 - Darwin has been bombed and 29 year-old, wartime cinematographer Damien Parer (Matthew Le Nevez), is filming Australian troops as they fight the Japanese on the deadly razorback ridges of New Guinea. Risking his own life, Damien is determined to make the film that will shake Australians out of their complacency and let them know that the war is on their doorstep. Damien's thoughts frequently stray to his beautiful, strong-willed and feisty, long-time girlfriend Marie Cotter (Adelaide Clemens). He has been keeping her at arm's length - terrified that he will come home maimed and broken - and unable to commit. Based on the lives of real people and actual events, Parer's War tells the story of a man caught between two worlds - at ease amongst the troops and in the midst of jungle warfare, but struggling to win the love of his life.

Parer's War is the true story of World War II frontline cameraman, Damien Parer, whose work won Australia's first Oscar. His desperate efforts to return to the battlefield to capture what he believed was the 'truth' of war were thwarted by his own government. Caught between two worlds, his own personal demons almost cost him the woman he loved.

WWII cameraman Damien Parer, risked his life on the frontline in New Guinea to film Australian troops. His film 'Kokoda Front Line' won Australia's first Academy Award®. Based on the book, 'Kokoda Front Line' by Neil McDonald, the story details his battles with his boss at the Department of Information, and sparring with famed Cinesound producer, Ken Hall.
