After fighting in World War I as a sniper, Travis (Simon Baker), now a policeman in northern Australia, loses control of an operation that results in the massacre of an indigenous tribe in 1919. When his superiors insist on burying the truth, Travis leaves in disgust. But he is forced back 12 years later to hunt down Baywara, an Aboriginal warrior whose attacks on new settlers are causing havoc. Travis, now a bounty hunter, recruits as his tracker the young mission-raised Gutjuk (Jacob Junior Nayinggul), the only known survivor of the massacre. As the truth of the past is revealed, Travis becomes the hunted. Startattle.com – High Ground 2021.
