An Aboriginal farmhand (Hamilton Morris) goes on the run after killing a white man in self-defence, hotly pursued by a local posse. Set in 1929 and inspired by true events, this visually striking, emotionally powerful Australian film is an outback Western with a compelling plot and a searing social conscience. Morris is a powerful presence, and there are striking performances, too, from Sam Neill as a compassionate preacher-cum-farmer, Bryan Brown as a dogged policeman and Ewen Leslie as a war veteran. 2017, 15, 113MIN
