The chant of the underdog

CrimeDramaHistory

The true story of a part aboriginal man who finds the pressure of adapting to white culture intolerable, and as a result snaps in a violent and horrific manner.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching look at systemic oppression and its devastating consequences. This film is a brutal, yet vital, examination of a man pushed to his absolute limit by a society that refuses to accept him. It's a harrowing experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
