'𝗪𝗢𝗟𝗙𝗥𝗔𝗠'
🎬 𝗦𝗬𝗡𝗢𝗣𝗦𝗜𝗦 & 😎 𝗡𝗢𝗡-𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪:
🎬: Set in Australia's Central Desert mines in 1932, an Aboriginal mum, Pansy [Deborah Mailman], with a young baby & accompanied by her Chinese partner, Zhang [Jason Chong], desperately searches for her 2 young kids, Max [Hazel Jackson] & Kid [Eli Hart], who were abducted by a cruel overseer, Billy [Matt Nable], to be exploited as child labour mining for wolfram [tungsten].
When Billy is killed by 2 roving outlaws, Casey Martin [Errol Shand] & Frank [Joe Bird], Max is kidnapped but Kid remains close until they find refuge with Philomac [Pedrea Jackson], an 18yo Aboriginal young man who serves his pathetic father, Mick Kennedy [Thomas M. Wright] on his rundown property.
But after seeing how cruel Casey & Frank are, when they stay with Mick for a few days, Philomac absconds with Max & Kid seeking a safer life for himself & his 2 young wards.
With Casey, Frank & Mick after them, will Philomac succeed?
😎: In a sequel to director Warwick Thornton's critically-acclaimed 2017 film, 'Sweet Country,' the characters of Mick Kennedy & Philomac are reprised in a tale set 5 years later based on real life events that highlight a mother's unrelenting quest to find her stolen kids & the exploitation of young Aboriginal children forced into unpaid & often dangerous child labour.
Casey is as a vile as they come. Entitled with little regard for anyone else, he makes a bad impression at the local saloon & is forced to stand down when confronted by the locals - but it doesn't stop him from returning to make more trouble.
Frank is no better; acting tough yet subservient to Casey, Frank finally gets his comeuppance when he threatens the wrong person.
Casey & Frank despise the local Aboriginal people so much that they not only kill & burn an older Aboriginal man caught stealing meat, Archie [Gibson John], but later slaughter an entire unarmed Aboriginal encampment including women & young kids.
🦘 With a couple of unexpected surprises, Thornton's sequel reaches an impressive denouement. 🦘
