The life and work of Man Booker Prize winner Richard Flanagan is examined in Alan Yentob's film. The grandson of illiterates, a school drop-out, a river guide, builder's labourer, and a passionate campaigner for conservation, the Australian author travels with Yentob through his native Tasmania. They visit the places that have inspired his novels, and on to Thailand, to see first-hand the site of the Death Railway - the brutal setting of his award-winning novel, The Narrow Road to The Deep North
