from The Screen Show · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Director Leah Purcell and actor Rob Collins on The Drover's Wife: The Legend of Molly Johnson, Purcell's powerful post-colonial revision of a short story by Henry Lawson, which in her hands becomes a mesmerising outback western presented through a feminist, First Nations lens. Plus, Jonathan Alley tells us how he wove his admiration for cult band The Triffids into the beautiful documentary Love in Bright Landscapes, and Liz Doran, the co-creator and lead writer on a new 1970's set surf series Barons explains why this was a moment in time she was inspired to put on screen.
