About this movie

How far would you go to protect the ones you love? Visionary writer, director and actor Leah Purcell brings to life her powerful reimagining of Henry Lawson’s classic Australian short story. Set against the stunning backdrop of the wild and rugged Snowy Mountains, Purcell shines as Molly Johnson, a woman pushed to her limits with the burden of a dark secret. Molly’s world is thrown upside down with the arrival of wanted man Yadaka (Rob Collins) and lawman Nate Clintoff (Sam Reid), pushing Molly to take extreme measures to protect her children. A gripping tale of love, protection and survival.
