Blackbirded

In the Colony of Queensland in the 19th Century, an Australian Native Police patrol is called in to track and retrieve an escaped group of blackbirds-South Sea Islanders, taken from their home and forced to work out oppressive contracts on sugar plantations. Experts in tracking and killing, the patrol ventures into the Australian bush to find their quarry. But the further they venture into the rainforest, the stranger and stranger their pursuit becomes.
