In the remote community of Toomelah, troubled 10-year-old Daniel (Daniel Connors) is suspended from school and finds himself drawn into the criminal dealings of the male role models around him. With documentary-like realism, Toomelah brings audiences on a journey into Daniel’s world as he comes face-to-face with adult realities.
Inspired by his personal connection to Toomelah, this powerful feature from award-winning First Nations director Ivan Sen received a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival.
‘Sen's intimacy with his subject overrides its grimness… Toomelah is gently spellbinding’ – The Sydney Morning Herald
