This is an extraordinary film about events occurring around $3000 worth of Crown gold in Western Australia in the late 19th century. We are taken on the life journey of a young Afghani charged with transporting goods across the Australian desert as a member of a group of cameleers...men from India, Afghanistan and other Middle Eastern countries, imported by the British for their expertise with camels and desert environments. I will not give the plot away. I can say only that this unusual and powerful story unfolds at the pace of the desert without special effects, unnecessary dialogue or fake storylines. It's a story about men, about gold, about fathers and sons. It is about love, madness, greed, and guilt. It is about British colonialism in all its brutality. Rare. Mighty. Watch it.
