A GOOD MAN (Doco Prize)
A love story like no other, featuring Chris - the good man of the title – and Rachel, who suffered a massive stroke 14 years ago which has left her unable to walk or talk. Since then Chris, with the help of his extended family, has taken care of his wife and son. An Inverell farmer with the usual worries about the weather and the bank, Chris comes up with a bizarre solution to their financial woes - a brothel. Uberoi (My Mother India, SFF02) adeptly captures the humour, tenderness and tenacity that sustain this remarkable relationship. JN•
