Scanned from the original camera negative, and then colour-corrected and stabilised one shot at a time, the release of this brand new 4K restoration of Wake In Fright is a landmark moment in Australia’s cinematic history. After wrapping up the school term in a remote outback town, teacher John Grant (Gary Bond) eagerly anticipates spending his holiday in Sydney with his girlfriend. However, his plans take a sharp detour when he is waylaid in a harsh mining town. A gambling spree leaves him completely broke and he soon falls in with the hard-drinking locals. Fueled by alcohol, they pressure him into a gruesome kangaroo hunt, pushing John into a downward spiral.
