In early 20th century Australia, Sam (Morris), an Aboriginal stockman, is charged with the murder of a white man. A trial of nail-biting suspense ensues, amidst an atmosphere heavy with racial hatred and threats of summary justice. 
Fearing the worst, Sam and his wife flee into the desert – a cruel, if stunningly beautiful, environment. 
With astonishing performances from the indigenous amateur cast, 
Sweet Country brings a much-needed indigenous perspective to Australian cinema.

Eleven-year-old urbanite Ricky (Dennison) — rebellious and hip-hop loving — gets a cultural shock when child welfare services send him to a foster-family in the remote New Zealand countryside. However, he quickly settles into his new home with his loving Aunt Bella, the cantankerous Uncle Hec (Neill), and dog Tupac.
But after tragedy strikes his place there is threatened and both he and Hec go on the run in the bush.
Here, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a family, in this rousing adventure-comedy.
