Football is life... everything else is mere detail.

In a dystopian, post-pandemic world crippled by a global fertility crisis, an aging smuggler struggles to protect a runaway teenager and her newborn baby from ruthless criminals, while trying to complete his run for his vicious employers.

The Burnt Half is a powerful, complex, engaging and gripping, character-led, observational documentary. It’s a film that goes to the heart of a shattered community in the wake of the 2020 bushfires that destroyed two-thirds of this idyllic island, which was the jewel in the crown of South Australia and a global tourism icon.

A documentary written by Kane McKay, a returned military serviceman, about Bob Quinn, a recipient of the Military Medal for his heroic actions in World War II in Tobruk, 1941, and also champion player for a number of years at the Port Adelaide Football Club.
