A BAFTA Los Angeles® winner and Australian Academy Awards® nominee, The Telegram Man explores the impact of World War II on a close-knit Australian farming community.
He may resemble Father Christmas but Bill Williams is more like the Angel of Death in 2011's The Telegram Man. Bill (a masterfully understated performance by Jack Thompson) is a postman in an Australian country town during World War II. He's become a social pariah as his job entails delivering telegrams to inform families that a loved one has been killed in the war.
