Toomelah - Trailer

The story centres on Daniel, a small ten year old boy who dreams of being a gangster.

A showdown ensues and Daniel is caught in the middle, leaving him with a choice to make about his uncertain future.
Toomelah is a deeply personal story, that intimately depicts mission life in contemporary Australia. The film reveals the challenges facing the young Gamilaroi people of the Toomelah Community. Robbed of much of their traditional culture by Government policy, it is a community on a cultural edge, struggling for an identity. It is a provocative and yet comic story that transports audiences inside the community, creating an authentic world and way of life that is "Toomelah"
