"Sweet Country (2017)" is an interesting movie..

"Australian western set on the Northern Territory frontier in the 1920s,
where justice itself is put on trial when an aged Aboriginal farmhand shoots a white man in self-defense
and goes on the run as a posse gathers to hunt him down.
"

This has all the elements of a terrific serious outdoors drama..

Personally, I felt it was sabotaged by the Director's pretentious art-house editing.
But definitely worth considering if the subject matter and scenery appeals...
