Warwick Thornton has signed on to direct a feature telling the story of Australian Aboriginal resistance fighter Pemulwuy.
As a proud Wiradjuri, Kamilaroi and Dharawal man, Stan Grant learned from the earliest age about the exploits of Pemulwuy, Australia’s first Indigenous resistance fighter who led a 12-year war against British Colonial oppression.
