"My grandfather wants to know, if you got any power?" Madman Films has released the full-length official trailer for High Ground, an Australian western thriller that premiered at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year. It's opening in Oz in January, but still has no US date set yet. Set in the 1930s, High Ground is inspired by true events, telling the story of a policeman in Northern Australia and the local aboriginals he attempts to befriend. After a terrible massacre leaves many dead without justice, years later he is forced to return and confront the same aboriginals when they start attacking outposts. A "frontier western about colonial violence and misunderstandings that deeply resonates in today's Australia – and indeed all over the world – the film explores the nature of loyalty and the ability to distinguish freely between right and wrong, in opposition to the dogmas of the age in which you live." This co-stars Simon Baker and Jacob Junior Nayinggul, plus Jack Thompson, Callan Mulvey, Witiyana Marika, & Caren Pistorius. It's a good film, with outstanding performances, and a nuanced focused on the Aboriginal experience. It's worth a look. ›››
