Samson and Delilah 15
Samson and Delilah’s world is small – an isolated community in the Central Australian desert. When tragedy strikes they turn their backs on home and embark on a journey of survival. Lost, unwanted and alone they discover that life isn’t always fair, but love never judges.
"Samson & Delilah is a love story, but perhaps not in the traditional sense. It is a story that deals with life on a remote Aboriginal community and the ways in which one young couple manage to escape from this mundane existence."
Warwick Thornton - Writer/Director
"Sensitively performed and beautifully filmed, Samson & Delilah marks the arrival of a significant, singular voice in world cinema."
