Samson and Delilah
2009 · Movie · 101 min. · Australia
15 year-old Samson lives in a small isolated Warlpiri community in the Central Australian desert. Awakened to the reggae riffs of his brother’s ambition-less band, he reaches for the can of petrol for a long morning sniff. There’s nothing to do, no work, no friends, no school. Instead, Samson follows young Delilah around as she cares for her nana. 2009: Asian Pacific Screen Awards: Best film.
