Product Overview

Certain stories leave an indelible mark in the Australian cultural psyche, and Henri Safran's screen rendition of Storm Boy is one of them. With this tale brought to life on the big screen once again, Jake Wilson examines the throwbacks, themes and contemporary resonances that underpin this fond, if flawed, retelling of the beloved adaptation.
