Plot

"The King" is a vibrant tapestry that intertwines the life of Graham Kennedy, Australia's pioneering TV luminary, with the evolution of the country's television landscape. Born to a working-class family in Balaclava, Kennedy's star ascends from humble radio beginnings to the dizzying heights of TV and film, before circling back to the small screen. Alongside this dazzling professional journey, "The King" also navigates the shadowy corridors of Kennedy's personal life; the solitude lurking behind the spotlight, the unfulfilled desires, and the immense strain of being Australia's inaugural domestic superstar during the transformative era of the 1950s and 60s. However, "The King" transcends an individual tale, serving as a chronicle of television's birth, an influential cultural revolution that shaped Australia's identity and painted the canvas of our present society.
