Inspired by Australia’s untold history, HIGH GROUND is a reckoning with the past, set in the stunning landscapes of Arnhem Land.

Set against the stunning landscapes of 1930s Arnhem Land, HIGH GROUND chronicles young Aboriginal man Gutjuk, who in a bid to save the last of his family teams up with ex-soldier Travis to track down Baywara—the most dangerous warrior in the Territory, who is also his uncle. As Travis and Gutjuk journey through the outback, they begin to earn each other’s trust, but when the truths of Travis’ past actions are suddenly revealed, it is he who becomes the hunted. 

HIGH GROUND was highly acclaimed at its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival 2020 and stars Simon Baker, Jacob Junior Nayinggul, Callan Mulvey, Jack Thompson, Aaron Pedersen, Witiyana Marika.
