'Towards a Distant Sea' is a coming-of-age story with a difference. It is a dramatic personal account of a young Australian man against the backdrop of Philippine society.
Paul, a young Australian, arrives in the Philippines in 1971 as Martial Law is proclaimed by President Marcos.
His idealism exposes him to first-hand experiences of violence and corruption and to injustice.
