May Downs, 1859. A white family making an overland journey to Rockhampton, with the assistance of Aboriginal staff, is stalled when the mother goes into labour. This loose adaptation of Wright’s eponymous historical account focuses on the female experience of colonisation, revealing the human costs of masculine avarice.
