A gang of neo-Nazi skinheads, including Hando (Russell Crowe) and Davey (Daniel Pollock), come into conflict with a group of Vietnamese migrants in this confronting depiction of race-based violence in Australia. Geoffrey Wright’s film is poignantly shocking, highlighting elements of Australian culture that many may prefer to ignore.
