Jack Charles v The Crown
T1258361856
Jack Charles is an Australian legend: veteran actor, musician, Koori elder and activist, but for a good portion of his 70 years he has also been an addict, a thief and a regular in Victoria's prisons. From Stolen Generation to Koori theatre in the 1970s, from film sets to Her Majesty's prisons,
Jack Charles v The Crown runs the gamut of a life lived to its utmost. Charles' unswerving optimism transforms this tale of addiction, crime and doing time into a kind of vagabond's progress - a map of the traps of dispossession and a guide to reaching the age of grey-haired wisdom.
