High Ground (2020)
Directed by Stephen Maxwell Johnson this film stars Jacob Junior Nayinggul, Simon Baker, Callum Mulvey and Caren Pistorius. In the interwar period white settlers and Aboriginal Australians clash.
While this film does highlight the racism in the colonisation of Australia I am not sure it has much of interest or originality to say on the subject. Where the film is at it's strongest is in showing off the stunning natural landscapes. An enjoyable meat pie western which is more than decently made.
4/5
