Adapted from Thomas Keneally's novel of the same name, this searing drama inspired by actual events stars Tommy Lewis as Jimmie Blacksmith, a half-white, half-aborigine man struggling to find his place in the world of colonial Australia. After his earnest attempts to integrate himself into white society are rebuffed over and over again, Jimmie is driven to retaliate against his tormentors. Fred Schepisi directs.
