"Road" follows a night in the lives of four young
Aboriginal people from the Sydney inner-city suburb of Redfern.
Murray
is on the road to disaster. His mate, Lance goes along for the ride.
They try in vain to catch a cab. A fight with a cabby ensues. Burning
rubber, hot pursuit. Cabs cruise like sharks in the night in search
of the young duo. The chase leads to the ocean.
Beck
and Kelvin, meanwhile, are on the road to friendship.
A
raw and gritty tale of survival in the inner city. Stories of love
and belonging.
Road
was devised and performed by young Aboriginal people with no acting
experience from Redfern in Sydney. The
film is a unique collaboration between filmmaking professionals
and young people.
