Goldstone

GRADE: 7

Indigenous Detective Jay Swan arrives in the frontier town of Goldstone on a missing persons inquiry. What seems like a simple light duty investigation opens a web of crime and corruption.

Director: Ivan Sen
Country: Australia

THOUGHTS:

Story about a white cop and an indigenous detective coming together to expose a crime ring in a town with a long history of corruption. It’s a fairly standard crime story, but its location and its themes of colonialism and abusive power dynamics are strong and moving.
