It’s 1922 and Aboriginal tracker (David Gulpilil) leads three white men in the hunt for an aboriginal fugitive who is suspected of murdering a white woman. As they move deeper into the outback, the clear cut notions of truth and justice are subverted and the questions become not will the fugitive be caught, but what is black, what is white and who is leading whom?

Though fictional, The Tracker recounts a violent stain in Australian race relations in this, a year when Australia took a great step forward in reconciliation with the National Apology to the Stolen Generations.
