After Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbour, Australia was soon at war with Japan. In 1942, General McArthur set up his headquarters for the Pacific in Brisbane and, as a result, the city needed a civilian population to ensure the smooth operation of its essential services. Due to its proximity to the Pacific battlefronts, it was a crucial geographic point for resupplying troops in battle A plan was soon hatched to make newsreel films and articles that would reassure Australia’s civilians that they would be safe from Japanese threat. The Ministry Communications Unit chronicles the creation and development of the special public relations unit that created those movies and articles. The Ministry Communications unit, tells the tale of how the unit developed along with the people causing interest and romances to begin. But nothing in the path of love can run smoothly and as the young men and women become romantically involved they then become shocked by the horrific hospital boat sinking.
