In a haunting romance set in Australia's far north in the middle of
the twentieth century, Calum, a white ringer (cowboy), and Doreen,
a mixed-descent girl, never once doubt their love even though, as a
couple, they're disparaged by most whites. Calum joins a cattle
drive-after he's proven that he can handle both himself and the
wild horse he is given to ride.
Enter Doreen, who has just been rescued by her mum from a
mission school where she was treated badly by the Big Father. A
chance encounter brings them together for the first time, but both
of them believe their meeting was destined, regardless of what lies
ahead for them. Through their experiences and those of the people
around them, the racial discrimination that marked Australia's
twentieth century-the tragedy of Australia's Stolen Generation, the
murder of Aborigines, and the abduction and rape of Aboriginal
girls-becomes the backdrop for this powerful love story.
"Long Creek" offers an uplifting and beautiful romance and
provides insight into the cattle-ranching life in a sparsely
populated, beautiful, and unforgiving land.
