Warwick Thornton, visionary writer, director and director of photography of the lauded Samson & Delilah to the Central Desert with Wolfram, his follow up to his acclaimed Sweet Country.
Set in 1930s Australia, the colonial frontier. Two swaggering outlaws roll into a mining town and unleash a wave of cruelty, leading three kids to break free from their white “masters” and set off across the “sweet country” of central Australia in search of a safe home.
Beautifully filmed, troubling and powerful, Warwick’s work is essential viewing.
★★★★ ‘A beautiful film, illuminated by hope and resilience.’ ScreenHub
