The 2 part mini-series adaptation of Kate Greenville’s multi-award winning novel The Secret River will be released on DVD on June 24.
This epic tragedy dramatises the British colonisation of Australia in microcosm, with the dispossession of Indigenous
Australians made comprehensible and ultimately heart-breaking as Will Thornhill’s claim over a piece of land he titles ‘Thornhill’s Point’. Located on the beautiful and remote Hawkesbury River, it brings his family and neighbors into conflict with the traditional owners of the land.
The Secret River stars Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Sarah Snook, Lachy Hulme, Tim Minchin, Trevor Jamieson and Samuel Johnson.
