The casual racism of turn-of-the-century Australia explodes in shocking violence.
based on an actual true incident. The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith novel by Thomas Keneally (whose Schindler's Ark was filmed by Steven Spielberg as Schindler's List) was nominated for the Booker Prize in 1972.
A critical success around the world, this film was oddly, commercially unsuccessful at the box-office in Australia.
It was filmed in New South Wales, at Armidale, around Dorrigo National Park; as well as the towns of Dubbo, Gulgong, Mudgee, Rylstone, and at Kempsey, Port Macquarrie.
