I briefly did a bit of research to see what kinds of themes this film contains (tip: you should do this too at least in future, especially when looking for related texts, and also use thematic concerns in your essay(s)). Apparently, it's got stuff about honour and integrity (source: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/english-annotations-2015-20.pdf - search for your text title), and the following website has some good short stories about integrity, responsibility and honour. Check them out (especially the one by Orwell, because chances are, it has literary merit (bringing me to my next tip: you need to have related texts that have some kind of literary merit- something markers/critics would appreciate)).

If, for any reason, you don't use any of these stories, keep in mind that related texts are supposed to be of a different medium from the prescribed text. This is because same media make the texts too similar, plus, considering it's boring enough to analyse two texts (and for the marker to mark your essay(s) about it), imagine how much more boring it'd be for you to analyse two texts of the same type with similar techniques (and for the marker to mark these essays)! I just pointed this out since you said your related could be in "any medium", and my OCD (lol) compels me to correct this.

BTW, most of the stuff I learnt about choosing a good related text comes from this website...I think you need it:

Best of luck :)

P.S. I see you're in Yr 12, not Yr 11 like I initially assumed, so please try and learn these things ASAP if you don't actually know them already. :)
