Sweet Country (DVD, 2017) Region 4.
Set in 1929 in the outback of the Northern Territory, Australia. When Aboriginal stockman Sam (Hamilton Morris) kills white station owner Harry March (Ewen Leslie) in self-defence, Sam and his wife Lizzie (Natassia Gorey-Furber) go on the run. They are pursued across the outback, through glorious but harsh desert country.
Sergeant Fletcher (Bryan Brown) leads the posse with the help of Aboriginal tracker Archie (Gibson John) and local landowners Fred Smith (Sam Neill) and Mick Kennedy (Thomas M. Wright). Fletcher is desperate to capture Sam and put him on trial for murder - but Sam is an expert bushman and he has little difficulty outlasting them. Eventually, for the health of his pregnant wife, Sam decides to give himself up. He is put on trial in the courtroom of Judge Taylor (Matt Day). But will justice be served?
Industry Reviews
"If the movie's outlook is less than hopeful, it nevertheless suggests that there is still time to learn from our mistakes." - Alan Zilberman, Washington Post
"A piece of cinema that will both enrage and inspire you, Sweet Country is a true triumph of cinema." - Doug Jamieson, The Jam Report
"Uncomfortable to watch, the film works as a distinguished, forceful statement on integrity, authority, and bigotry and is a strong entry for the genre." - Louisa Moore, Screen Zealots
"Described as Australian's equivalent of an iconic American western, Sweet Country is a gripping, moving drama that pulls back the curtain on a darker chapter in our history." - Matthew Toomey, ABC Radio Brisbane
