"We all left part of ourselves in that jungle..." Prime Video Australia has unveiled the first official trailer for a streaming series titled
The Narrow Road to the Deep North, the latest creation from the Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel. He directed
The Order which opened last year, he also made
the doc Ellis Park, and has this new mini-series streaming this April on Prime Video. "Forever after, there were for them only two sorts of men: the men who were on the Line, and the rest of humanity, who were not."
The Narrow Road to the Deep North is a savagely beautiful 5-part series charting the life of Dorrigo Evans (played by
Jacob Elordi as a young man, with
Ciarán Hinds as the older Dorrigo), through his passionate love affair with Amy Mulvaney, his time held captive in a POW camp by the Japanese, and his later years spent as a revered surgeon & reluctant war hero. "The tenuousness of life and the impossibility of love, as seen through the eyes of an Australian doctor and prisoner of war." The main ensemble cast includes
