Synopsis

Justin Kurzel’s debut feature is as starkly confronting as it is beautifully controlled. Based on true events, the shadow of the Snowtown murders still looms larage in Australian society. 16 year old Jamie is a kid from the suburbs who desperately needs a father figure. What he gets instead is John Bunting, a charismatic presence who condenses all the hatred and grievance inside him and unleashes it in a cold fury.
