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

There is hope in the film, but it's a long road getting there. Hugh Laurie is magnificent as Mr Watts, bringing the tale of Mr Pip into the lives of those living with war and bloodshed, proving especially resonant for one young girl. Tears of anguish are replaced by tears of joy; this is an emotional rollercoaster that, like any great work of literature, educates and teaches rather than manipulates the soul.
