Lord of the Flies is the story of a group of schoolboys stranded on a tropical island following a deadly plane crash. In an attempt to remain civil they organise themselves, led by Ralph and supported by the group’s intellectual, Piggy. But when Jack becomes more interested in hunting and vying for leadership, he soon begins to draw other boys away from the group and, ultimately, from hope to tragedy. Adapted from the novel by William Golding. (4x60min)
