In the dead of night during the scorching summer of 1969, Charlie is startled when he is woken by local mixed-race outcast Jasper Jones outside his window. Jasper leads him deep into the forest and shows him something that will change his life forever, setting them both on a dangerous journey to solve a mystery that will consume the entire community. In an isolated town where secrecy, gossip and tragedy overwhelm the landscape, Charlie faces family breakdown, finds his first love, and discovers what it means be truly courageous. Nominated for Best Supporting Actor (Hugo Weaving) and Best Film at the **Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards**. *"Engrossing, surprising and moving, and obviously made with great care and love." - CJ Johnson, **ABC Radio***
