About this movie

For a decade Bob Hawke was the most-loved, most powerful man in Australia. He battled social injustice, political foes and personal demons with a ferocity that took no prisoner. As leader of the nation, he would sacrifice family, friends, everything, except the love of his life.

Ratings and reviews

The content of this is very interesting and well worth a watch, but the description and picture shown are misleading. It is billed as a drama, it is actually a documentary and the actors billed are not in it, whilst Richard Roxburough narrates the film there are no other actors listed in it because it’s not a drama but a documentary. Perhaps google play should review this listing. Again not taking away from the show it’s excellent but not what I expected.

This purports to be the 2010 telemovie Hawke starring Richard Roxburgh. It is not. Instead it is the 2017 ABC documentary Hawke: The Larrikin and Leader. It is good, but not what is advertised and not what I paid for, AND it can be seen for free on ABC iview. The picture and trailer is for the telemovie, the actual video after purchasing is for the documentary of 2017. Please fix this error.

excellent Australian television drama. 😀
