Don Groves, sbs.com.au
Brotherly love is sorely tested in tough racial drama.
-
Simon Weaving, Screenwize
A less than subtle look at racism in Sydney through the eyes of an ex-con committed to protecting his family from the influences of drug dealers and gangs.

The kind of film Australians should be making more often. Hats off to the entire team and to David Field for his mature and intelligent direction of this gripping and relevant drama.
