David Trueman is a young doctor who dreams of going to South America to practice medicine among the disenfranchised.

As the two commiserate, their bleak outlook lightens, promising a glimmer of hope for the both of them.

Wrong World is a 1985 Australian drama film directed by Ian Pringle and starring Richard Moir, Jo Kennedy, Nick Lathouris, Robbie McGregor, and Esben Storm. It was filmed in Nhill and Melbourne in Victoria, Australia, with additional scenes in La Paz, Bolivia and New York City.

Production

The film was made for $600,000 with a grant of more than $100,000 from Film Victoria. Jo Kennedy was drawn to the project as it was completely different from her breakout role in Starstruck. To prepare for the role, she spent several weeks on the streets of Melbourne's "drug district" and as a result her weight dropped to 38 kilograms.

People look at those kids and all they see is frenetic energy, drugs and a pretty disgusting lifestyle. I wanted to make sure people see that a girl like that is a real person, that she has the same feelings as, say, a business executive, but because of circumstances she's in a position which doesn't allow much consideration for those feelings...

The young woman on whom Kennedy based her performance died of an overdose during the film's production.
