The Tasmanian-born actress plays one of two women who were central in the life of the Port Arthur killer.
Against the wishes of some survivors,Nitram opened in Tasmania this week,at two cinemas only.
Today on Please Explain,senior culture writer Karl Quinn joins Nathanael Cooper to discuss the film Nitram and whether it should have been made.
Award-winning author Richard Flanagan watched the film with his friend Brian,a policeman helicoptered into Port Arthur during the massacre.
Nitram is sparking an uncomfortable and confronting conversation about Australia,guns and our culture - but it’s a discussion we need to have.
In his first Australian interview about his movie ahead of its premiere at Cannes,Justin Kurzel explains why he felt it had to be made.
Australians will be able to surrender their illegal or unregistered firearms without fear of being fined or prosecuted under a new nationwide permanent amnesty.
We denied the Port Arthur killer the infamy he sought. We gave it to the Christchurch killer. We shouldn’t. The evidence tells us there is more to our success in keeping mass shootings from these shores than gun numbers alone. We must not lose the lessons we have learned these last 25 years.
We honour the memory of that horrific day through continued vigilance to reduce firearm injury and death in our community.
A quarter of a century ago,a man killed 35 people in Tasmania. We need to focus on the victims,not the perpetrator.
The court of public opinion has decreed a film about the Port Arthur shooter should not be made. But is that judgement right?
