EditThe True History of the Kelly Gang (2019)

Set in colonial Australia, this film is based on Peter Carey’s novel “True History of the Kelly Gang” that won the Booker Prize in 2001. It follows the young bush ranger Ned Kelly (George MacKay) who decides to revenge for the unfair arrest of his mother Ellen by causing chaos and destruction among the colonisers from the British Empire. Taught where to find hideouts and advised how to use various strategies by another bushranger, Harry Power (Russell Crowe), Kelly sets ambitious goal against the rulers. The fact that he is a descendant from “The Sons of Sieve”, a line of Irish rebels who used to strike terror on their oppressors in Ireland, fuels Kelly's anger and impatience to act. He raises a small army of daredevils and with their help organises one of the most courageous attacks of rebellion Australia will always remember.
