Sisters Of War
Drama, TV Movies / 1 x 90' / HD, Airline, DVD, Non-Theatric
A Pericles Films Production for ABC Australia
In January 1942, the Japanese war machine thundered across South East Asia. In its path lay a tiny Papuan mission station, Vunapope. Here a handful of Australian nurses took refuge along with 84 wounded Australian soldiers. Abandoned by their commanding officers, they were left to face the Japanese alone.
Sisters of War is inspired by the true story of two extraordinary Australian women, Lorna Whyte, an army nurse, and Sister Berenice Twohill, a Catholic nun from New South Wales who was stationed at Vunapope. Although they were two very different women, their friendship would survive the incredible events that followed.
