The Perfect Boy Myth is an award-winning art/video written and directed by Liberté Grace and shot by Australian Cinematographer, Joel Peterson, with Performance-maker Kate Sherman in the lead role. It showcases the work of a creative team of over 100 people from all over the world, who contributed to creating this story of a small racist society of orphaned children ruled by a charismatic child who claims he will, "Protect them from evil" and "Bring the great mother back to life".

 

With historical references to Nazi Germany, a chilling story from the Vietnam war, and inspired by the Cronulla Race Riots of 2005 in Sydney, Australia; The Perfect Boy Myth is a fairy-tale, which plays upon familiar fairy-tale archetypes. It integrates historical references to real-life events, through a look at the darker side of the idealism at the basis of cultural programming within traditional archetypal story-telling.

The Perfect Boy Myth  was selected to showcase at the Cannes Film Festival and in Art Basel, Hong Kong and Time Square, New York.
