Primary
The film's central subject matter is a murder mystery intertwined with past trauma and rural hardship, which lacks a strong inherent political valence. The narrative champions the individual pursuit of truth and justice, a solution that is largely apolitical.
The movie features a predominantly white Australian cast, consistent with its rural setting, and does not include explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative centers on a crime mystery and personal drama, without critically portraying traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the story.
Secondary
