  • "It's 1914 and the British Empire's greatest supporter, Rudyard Kipling, is at the peak of his literary fame. Kipling's son, Jack, is determined to play his part in the immiment war with Germany but finds himself rejected due to his poor eyesight. Kipling uses his influence to land Jack a commission in the Irish Guards. Kipling's wife, Caroline, is bitterly upset, failing to see the glory in losing her only son to the war. How will the great writer, torn between his two greatest passions--devotion to King and Country and love for his family--justify the consequences of his actions to himself and his wife?"@en
  • "After their son Jack is declared missing in action in World War I, Rudyard Kipling and his wife search for him while struggling to deal with their feelings over Jack's entrance into the army."@en

  • "The true story of the relationship between Rudyard Kipling and his son John (Jack). On the outbreak of the First World War, Jack was keen to join up. But his poor eyesight meant that he was rejected and Kipling then pulled strings with his powerful friends to get him a commission in the Irish Guards. After six months training, Jack went into battle, only to go missing on his first full day in action. Kipling was forced to examine his support for the war and its cost - the life of his son."@en
