Mr. Pip
As a war rages on in the Papua New Guinea province of Bougainville, a young girl is captivated by the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations, which is being read at school by the village's only white man. In 1991, a war in the South Pacific over a copper mine tore the island of Bougainville apart. With Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, the reclusive "Popeye" (Hugh Laurie) offers an escape to the children of fourteen-year-old Matilda's tiny village. But, on a war-torn island, fiction can have disastrous consequences.
