The Brutality of Aussie history: Warwick Thornton

from How We Got Here · host David Thom

Warwick Thornton is one of Australia's most exciting filmmakers. Sydney Morning Herald named his 2009 film Samson & Delilah the greatest Australian film of all time. But his depiction of Australia's frontier history in 2017's Sweet Country and now in 2026's Wolfram makes him one of the most interesting chroniclers of Australian history. On this episode of How We Got Here, I sat down with Warwick to discuss his ideas on Australian progress and his new film Wolfram, in cinemas now!
