Mad Bastards

Director Brendan Fletcher borrows from aboriginal storytelling traditions and uses regional amateur actors, some of whom actually lived the story, to strengthen the film's power and legitimacy.  An incredible raw-energy score, emotionally powerful acting, and the breathtaking Australian landscape make this family tale both endearing and unforgettable.

The barren outback provides the perfect backdrop in this compelling story of three generations coping with a crisis of identity and change.
