Mock Harvey is a singer/songwriter, born on 29 August 1958 in Rochester, Victoria, Australia. He is currently based Melbourne, Australia. He released the modern classical instrumental song "Vietnam", produced for the ABC Australia documentary titled "Why Anzac?", in which Sydney-based Sam Neill looks at the history of Australia and war.1 A description of the soundtrack said:Waves of ANZAC is represented by 13 tracks selected from the score for the ABC documentary on forgotten war stories and lives lost. The documentary is a personal history by the actor Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, The Piano) set against a contemporary increasingly divided political backdrop. ‘Why ANZAC? with Sam Neill’ (Dir. Kriv Stenders, 2015) is named for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who served together in the Gallipoli Campaign, their first engagement in World War I and continued as a military unit until after WW2. The film is a look at this pivotal point in our shared history, and the impact it still has on a personal and on a geopolitical level" (1)Sources1screenaustralia.gov.au: The screen guide↩
