Product Overview

In 1970, Hilton Ambler attended one of the first screenings of Ted Kotcheff's Wake in Fright – the story of a young schoolteacher trapped in a nightmarish version of the Australian outback. With the film now restored and re-released after decades in its own wilderness, Ambler looks at the cultural milieu that gave rise to this curiously hybrid film set in Australia.
