How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut Western chase that becomes a meditation on injustice itself, as a system rigged against an Aboriginal man forces him to run for his life. Grounded in the brutal realities of 1920s Australia, it asks whether the law can ever protect those it was built to exploit.
