Aftermath is the story of Tom Bergmann, beginning with his experiences in Vietnam as an Australian Infantry soldier, through his return home to Australia and onto his determination to help his fellow Vietnam Veterans rehabilitate back into a society that by-and-large rejected them because of the anti-Vietnam War sentiment prevalent during the late Sixties and early Seventies.A community is formed and grows until they purchase a disused hobby farm on the outskirts of Sydney and build a permanent rest and recreation centre for veterans and their families which they call The Funny Farm, the nickname given to Vietnam by Australian soldiers having served there. Once the Funny Farm is up and running, Tom and Van, his Vietnamese partner, spread their outreach to other parts of Australia searching for veterans who have left home and family to live by themselves away from civilisation.
