Mad Bastards
# Because Some Things Really Matter
π Overview:
TJ is a mad bastard, and his estranged 13βyearβold son Bullet is on the fast track to becoming one, too. After being turned away from his motherβs house, TJ sets off across the country to the Kimberly region of northwestern Australia to make things right with his son.β© Grandpa Tex has lived a tough life, and now, as a local cop in the outback town of Five Rivers, he wants to change things for the men in his community. Cutting between three generations, Mad Bastards is a raw look at the journey to becoming a man and the personal transformation one must make.β© Developed with local Aboriginal communities and fueled by a local cast, Mad Bastards draws from the rich tradition of storytelling inherent in Indigenous life. Using music from legendary Broome musicians the Pigram Brothers, writer/director Brendan Fletcher poetically fuses the harsh realities of violence, healing, and family.
