Upcoming film Nitram

[Goldtarget]

Well Ive been waiting a long time for someone to have a go at this part of recent history, seems the wait will end mid Aug 2021 where it will debut at the MIFF.

Causing a bit of a stir, wasnt even certain someone could attempt it in this day and age. Cast as lead is a Yank, and no scenes of anyone shot, nor the gunman named.

I watched the True history of the Kelly Gang, a god-awful take on a bit of Aussie History and culture, could it be that this might end up the same way?

At any rate the story needs a telling it was 25 years ago, 1/4 Century and still much to be discussed.

Anyone else keen? Thoughts?

This is being produced by the same people who did Snowtown.
I flew into Hobart on a business trip on the day of the massacre, one of the most distressing weeks I spent in Tasmania in the 10 years I worked there.
As for the story being told Im not sure how I feel about it. I have visited Port Arthur and the memorial, a truly beautiful place of quiet reflection.

On Stan now , sitting down to watch.

Sorry not my cup of tea ..... will not bother watching anything that keeps the memory of this bloke above that of his victims.

Not sure, but thinking ive never heard the victims families speaking out ever..... just the story itself as seen via the media a few different ways.

I just had to use google to find out what this was

Anyone not watching it isnt really missing much.

Bad facts, bad casting, poor script, pure garbage.

Much like the true history of the Kelly Gang.
