The film will also address some long-held misbeliefs about Kipling and expose the influence he had on writers as diverse as T.S. The programme will interweave an analysis of Kipling’s public life as a successful writer and his private grief, including discussion of the three short stories he wrote after two of his children's deaths – They, Mary Postgate and The Gardener. Known for his extraordinary storytelling, emotive poetry (including the perennial favourite If), classic bestsellers such as The Jungle Book and the Just So Stories, little is known about the family that influenced and transformed Kipling (pictured right) as a writer and a man.Įndorsed by The Kipling Society, the documentary will look into the writer's childhood and the loss of two of his three children.
The Odyssey Television Premiere production will explore the "private life and devastating powerful secrets of one of our most famous and acclaimed writers." "Rudyard Kipling: A Secret Life", produced and directed by Adrian Munsey and Vance Goodwin will air in October. Sky Arts will broadcast two new documentaries on E M Forster and Rudyard Kipling this autumn.
