Vivian Bulwinkel is one of the great Australians of the 2oth Century.
Bullwinkel lived life to the full; as a Second World War Australian army nursing sister, a POW, a survivor and as a beloved matron. She was also highly regarded in the community as an elder stateswoman of Australian nursing.
During her long and successful career, Vivian Bullwinkel also threw her energies into furthering the nursing profession. She rose to become the president of the Royal College of Nursing Australia and was one of the key players in the push to create university education for nurses.
Through interviews from Bullwinkel's friends, Bullwinkel herself, historians and prisoners of war, this film is a testament to the life of one of Australia's greatest unsung heroes.

of his men was enshrined in Australian history. Today he is all but forgotten.
Monash - The Forgotten Anzac explores the character and achievements of an extraordinary figure in Australian history, the battles he fought both on and off the battlefield, and the prejudice he overcame to help win a war.
It is the story of an unlikely hero; a middle aged engineer powered by great self-belief who, despite his descent from a German Jewish immigrant family, fought both the German army and those on his own side determined to use his background against him.
It was largely through his efforts during the war and its aftermath that the Anzac legend was forged and the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps became famous for their qualities of courage, mateship and sacrifice.
Monash - The Forgotten Anzac examines Monash's key military victories and the hidebound military culture he overturned to win them. And it introduces us to Monash, the man.
