The Mango Tree 1977 Directed by Kevin James Dobson

A town of amazing people. A story that crowds a lifetime into a few, short years. And a young man who experienced it all.

Jamie Carr is a young man growing up in Bundaberg, Northern Queensland during the closing years of World War I. Jamie, who is in his final year of high school, was brought up by his grandmother. Grandma Carr is known and loved by all in the town, and does her best to help Jamie through the emotional turmoil of adolescence and a society struggling under old traditions and beliefs in a new country.
