| Summary |
Set in the Australian outback in 1922, this film tells the story of The Fanatic, the Follower and the Philosopher- three white men who use an indigenous Tracker to pursue a Fugitive. Through massacre and murder the hunt continues, until clear-cut notions of truth and justice are subverted and the questions become not, will the fugitive be caught, but what is black and what is white and who is leading whom? |
