AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'A storm shakes the Gleason homestead, but it's the tempest inside that spells the family's end. 25 years after its premiere, Stephen Sewell's portrait of a monstrous patriarch who would be the country's king remains startlingly relevant. An uncanny sense of regression hangs over an all-too-familiar portrait of Australian politics in which power, fear and violence are inextricable.'
