'GIANTS' 2022 AACTA Nominated Film
Intermittently filmed on the same farm over a period of 18 months, Giants plays out amongst the changing landscape of the worst drought in Australia’s history. Green to yellow to a red Mars like dust bowl.
Luke thinks the drought is breaking. So he doesn’t de-stock as planned, but instead get’s his herd ready to calve in the spring. His family are the lucky ones, they’re on good country. If Luke gets up early and works hard, they’ll be rewarded. It’s always been that way. But, the rain doesn’t come.
Luke is forced to wonder what’s happened to the good country inside his fence.
