Trailer & Synopsis
Life Burns High is a documentary portrait of one of Australia’s most dazzling writers, from her childhood in the sunlit seaside town of Kiama in the 1920s to her too early death In the 1960s. Novelist and columnist Charmian Clift was a household name in Australia: a glamorous rebel, a formidable non-conformist admired by a circle of artistic friends and peers. Her marriage to the flamboyant golden boy of Australian journalism, George Johnston, was a creative dream, but the partnership that began with a shared inspiration morphed into a dark, competitive, jealous rivalry.
