This gripping drama follows heavily pregnant Molly Johnson and her children as they fight to survive in a world where only white men hold power. Set against the unforgiving beauty of the Australian outback, this Neo-Western shows women standing their ground against racism and discrimination. As tensions escalate, the film sparks timeless questions about victimhood and culpability that resonate just as powerfully today.
Director Leah Purcell brings an 1892 short story to life, starring as the fierce Molly herself. Her commanding performance earned her the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Actress—and rightfully so.
