Screening Details:
The Mango Tree is a 1977 Australian drama filmed right here in Bundaberg! You may even see some familiar local faces throughout the film!
Directed by Kevin James Dobson and starring Geraldine Fitzgerald and Sir Robert Helpmann.
Lead actor Christopher Pate is the son of late actor Michael Pate who also produced and wrote the film.
It is based on the book of the same name, by Ronald McKie (published in 1974, winning the Miles Franklin Award).
The film is about Jamie, a young man in his formative teen years, growing up in rural subtropical town of Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia, set around World War I.
Jamie, raised by this grandmother, enjoys his life in "Bundy", until the town's reaction to the insanity of a local preacher leads him to leave his hometown for life in the city.
