Directed by one of Australia’s leading filmmakers Robert Connolly, the film is set in iconic locations, with engaging characters and a powerful story of friendship between two countries. It stars globally renowned cast including Sam Worthington (Avatar, Clash of the Titans), and Ed Oxenbould (Disney’s Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day).
