🔴 Condition - Good 🔴

Four men are on the trail of a killer...perhaps. If you run, then you must be guilty, right? This is something that the group, lead by The Fanatic would probably assume. Accused by the authorities of the murder of a white woman, an aboriginal man is on the run with the law relentlessly pursuing him. The group is made up of The Fanatic, a man obsessed with what is right, with what he perceives as being right and the natural order of things; The Veteran, a man who has seen it all many times before and knows the probable outcome of the expedition; The Follower, a young law enforcer on his first hunt for an accused man in the isolated inland environment of outback Australia, and; The Tracker, an experienced aboriginal tracker who leads the group after The Fugitive.
Even though The Tracker leads the group, he is in fact at the bottom of the pecking order and he is looked down upon, both figuratively and literally, by the others in the group. As they ride behind, The Tracker walks on foot, meticulously retracing The Fugitive's steps who he thinks might be half a day ahead. The Follower is sceptical of The Tracker's ability and motivation - after all, it is an aboriginal the group is hunting and it is an aboriginal who leads them. Surely this is a conflict of interest. But The Tracker proclaims his dedication to the task and The Fanatic, despite his ever-increasing hostility and rage, firmly believes that The Tracker is indeed on the real trail of The Fugitive. But as the group continues on, things begin to go awry with The Tracker more within his element, The Fugitive no more closer to capture, and The Fanatic more hostile and determined than ever. The Fugitive will be captured and brought to justice at all costs. Damn the loss of horses and provisions, damn the silent spear attacks from foes unseen, damn the stubborn Tracker who dares to stand before me in defiance. Damn it all for I will see that justice is served and I will be the one to do it.
The Fanatic is right. Justice will be done. Justice may not always be swift, but it is sure...and it will come.
Leave at the door all your thoughts on the whole aboriginal question in respect to land rights, the 'stolen generation' and reconciliation. Drop all of it, clear your mind and have a look at this film. At the end you get the impression that it's not about aboriginal land rights or indeed aboriginal rights in general. Instead, consider the issues of human rights and our obligation, nay our duty, to respect each other as equals; brothers and sisters. The characters in this film come from all sides, from the ones that refuse to respect another's rights to the ones who learn to respect them. We can only hope that we can count ourselves amongst the latter group. An important and interesting film that really does reward the viewer who isn't in for the 'quick fix'. This isn't a long haul with a running time of just over 90 minutes, but the film does run at a deliberate pace and it rewards in a more traditional manner than one might imagine. Drop the preconceptions and have a look. Recommended.
