Right now, former Warwick student Will Thornton I studying at Griffith University’s film school to realise his dream of a career in the movie industry.
But one of the reasons he’s able to do that is because Will's grandfather is Vietnam veteran.
Upon gradiuating from high school in Warwick, Will was awarded what is known as a "Long Tan Bursary.
The Long Tan Bursary helps eligible children and grandchildren of Vietnam veterans pay for their tertiary education to honour the service and sacrifice of their families.
I spoke with Will about his grandfather’s influence on his life, his dreams of making movies and how the bursary is helping him start the journey.
