The Secret River is an epic tragedy in which a good man is compelled by desperation, fear, ambition and love for his family to participate in a crime of inhuman savagery. Through the deeply personal story of early convict colonists William and Sal Thornhill, The Secret River dramatises the British colonisation of Australia in microcosm and raises the question of when two worlds collide, who is wrong and who is right?

This two part mini-series includes the following:

Part 1

In 1813 ex-convict Will Thornhill settles on the beautiful Hawkesbury River. But his plans are soon overshadowed by misunderstandings and conflict with the local Indigenous people.

Part 2

Will's increasing desperation to hold onto 'his' land despite the resistance of the local Indigenous people, leads to his involvement in a brutal incident which will haunt him forever.

The Secret River is also available for 30-day rental and 1-year rental.
