Victoria Longley

A photojournalist covering Vietnamese refugees in Malaysia finds more than a story as the journey challenges her loyalties and changes her life.

Taking deadly aim at sentimental depictions of childhood, this distinctive debut from underrated Australian auteur Ann Turner explores the shadowy corners of a child’s world. Linking 1950s anticommunism and a plague of rabbits, Celia finds youthful rebellion in dark fantasy and eerie ritual.
