The Story

   Based on the true story of Rudyard Kipling and his son Jack who was tragically killed during the first world war.

(The following is the text of a pre-recorded video message from Daniel Radcliffe which was shown at the Edinburgh Film Festival in August 2006.)

"I’m Dan Radcliffe, and I’d like to tell you about a film I am making next year for ITV1.

In World War I, millions of young men were killed fighting for their country - many were only 17 years old.

It’s a period I am particularly fascinated by, which is why I was thrilled to be asked by Ecosse Films to play the title role in a major new drama called My Boy Jack.

The film is about Rudyard Kipling and his son. Kipling was one of several high profile figures who took an active role in persuading young men to fight in World War I. His own son Jack, however, had such poor eyesight that the army refused to accept him. Indeed, it was only through Kipling’s personal intervention that Jack eventually gained a commission with the Irish guards.

Written by and starring David Haig as Kipling, My Boy Jack is a moving and powerful story NOT ONLY of duty, sacrifice and bravery, but also the horror of war.

Today nearly a hundred years on YOUNG MEN ARE STILL GOING OFF TO FIGHT IN WAR. MANY WILL NEVER RETURN."

In My Boy Jack next year, we will remember them.
