What an absolutely spellbinding account of that terrible day. The first time I have seen anything from the perspective of the policemen. Brilliant portrayal. I neither think the Kelly's were heroes or demons, just brazen, violent criminals. Thank you so much for a great rendition of such a tragic event in Australian history.
How this films are not famous? I am making some WW2 short films and i know how much organization, work and time it takes to do something like this. Respect 👏
Fantastic! Never before have i seen this event from the perspective of the police , it has given a whole new insight into my idea of the kelly saga and the incident at stringybark creek that is never explored or portrayed , why have I never seen this before? Excellent!
Enjoyed this depiction of what happened at Stringybark Creek. I think it is very important that the Police involved doing their duty with no evidence of corruption, which is always stated to explain the Kelly gangs behaviour. Enjoyed watching this picture very much.
@@user-ed6nv6ep8h That report written in 2007 was a load of fictitious rubbish. When the Police Integrity Commission closed down, all material went to the Victorian IBAC, and it was promulgated on their website. I had it removed more than two years ago, as I proved to IBAC it was not true. That report still exists on some sites on the internet. Here is the portion of that report relating to the Kelly Outbreak.
"The Royal Commission into the pervasive mismanagement of the hunt (the Longmore Commission) shattered a number of police careers in addition to that of Chief Commissioner Standish. Widespread corruption was exposed. The activities of two members, in particular, Winch and Larner, included involvement in prostitution, gambling and borrowing from hotelkeepers, whilst being protected by Standish. Winch escaped criminal charges and retired on his pension. Special criticism was reserved for the Detective Branch, which was variously described as 'inimical to the public interest', a 'nursery of crime' and a department whose 'system of working (was) so iniquitous that it may be regarded as little less than a standing menace to the community." Now let me tear this rubbish apart for you. 1. Chief Commissioner Standish had retired six months before the RC even began. The Commission did not shatter his career as claimed. 2. The 1881 RC document makes no mention of corruption at all. The word 'corrupt' is not included in that report anywhere. In the 1882 report the RC said they found corruption in the detective branch in Melbourne, which was true. That branch had 25 members. Senior police were prosecuted in criminal courts and found not guilty. The suggestion that there was widespread corruption is fictitious rot. It was essentially confined to the detective branch. 3. The report states that the RC shattered a number of police careers. Only three junior police were dismissed. No other senior police were demoted, dismissed or admonished. Both Supt Hare and Nicolson were promoted to be police magistrates. All senior police held their positions. Far too much fiction relating to the entire Kelly story still exists today and should be exposed for the fiction falsely promoted.
@@user-ed6nv6ep8h That report was fictitious rubbish and I had it removed from the Victorian IBAC site. Almost everything in that report was anti-police and made up fiction.
It brought alive the true essence of the times of 1878 it captured a moment in time so real it put to rest my wondering of what it was really like living through those times quiet an amazing film
OMG! Old Gippstown you look amazing! Had forgotten this was done..... So impressed you got Scanlan's horse correct...Although you got his dog incorrect. M48 was well represented.
i have read and heard all about how ned kelly was captured but until just now i have never read or heard that he pleaded for his life. i guess we'll never know what really happened.
Great film at the star showing the sergeant with his family how they got there orders borrowing the rifle from the gold escort how ever different to transcript from constable McIntyre events .. full respect to the police officers from 1878 involved ..
Just stumbled across this film. The attention to historical detail and accuracy in some parts of this film is quite amazing. I have just finished reading "The Kelly gang unmasked" which given its sources highlights how accurate this film is. Of course the events at Stringybark after McIntrye departs are either rely on Kelly's account or make your conclusions from available evidence. I think it is highly plausible that events unfolded this way but who can say with any certainty. I don't give Kelly's accounts much credence, mostly self serving in my opinion. I don't believe McIntrye would have lived had he not escaped. It was so refreshing to see this film steer clear of the Robin Hood angle and show that these Police were real people not just some keystone cops on horseback. If these events happened today the country would be horrified, as they were back then. As the Kelly's came to them it is hard to argue self defense. Congratulations to all involved thoroughly enjoyed the film and am so glad I came across it.
Great production. It also gives credit to the police and doesn’t suggest that McIntyre was a coward. If McIntyre had have stayed, Kelly would have killed him to cover the evidence. I would say this picture depicts more likely what really happened. Great work!
@lliams7212 no ones knows kennedy's final mins only ned and maybe his gang, fact is they covered him out of remorse and guilt and maybe respect who knows . this shows some type of decency and this fabrication is not true of their supposed cowardice as it portrays . and what would ned have to lie about his fate was sealed and no amount lying was going to save him .
@@jeffeasdale8254 Ned Kelly related the entirety of what happened to numerous people, including his prisoners at Glenrowan, so we do know what happened. Ned Kelly was a vicious murdering swine as this film shows. It is very correct in that respect. The fiction written by pro-Kelly authors have screwed up the story beyond belief. New books and films like Stringybark are finally coming to the fore to put the record straight. More than time it happened.
@@bradwilliams7212 so your saying kate and ned just blurted out to everyone and anyone that kennedy ran out from behind a tree yelling that he wanted to surrender and we just chose to blow him away for the hell of it because im a coward . yeh righto .
@@jeffeasdale8254 You have no idea do you? You need to research properly. then you might have some idea of what you are talking about. Ned Kelly wounded Sgt Kennedy and captured him and interrogated him for some hours. Kennedy told Kelly that he had 5 young children under 10 years of age and that his wife was pregnant. He begged for his life, but the low life that Kelly was, took was 12 gauge shotgun, and at point-blank range fired into his chest, killing him instantly. He was not badly wounded, as the Dr. doing the postmortem stated that Kennedy was standing erect when the fatal shot was fired. Not satisfied with that atrocity, he then robbed his corpse, taking a gold watch. Years after Kelly was hanged, the Kelly family, offered the watch back to Bridgett Kennedy, BUT demanded a ransom. That is how low they were. Bridgett refused to pay for her own property, and a publican paid the money to get the watch back. The Kelly's were the lowest of the low.
Stealing horses in those days could mean the difference between life and death, thats how serious it was. Cattle rustling was stealing someone's livelihood and means of survival. Times were incredibly tough in those days. The police out to arrest these thieves should be remembered as heroes and the gang as low life cowards, a stain on Australian history. Excellent production gentlemen.
I'm just curious..... in what account of the Glenrowan seige did you read the part about Ned pleading for his life? I've pawed through every eye witness account and police report I could find for years and have never found that part. Everything I've ever read has said he was defiant till the end even when near death at the Glenrowan train station.
@@bradwilliams7212 Have done so. Constable Arthur nor Sargent Steele make no mention of it in any report. Neither did Jessie Dowsett in his statement. Constable Kelly was close enough to be credited in removing Kelly's helmet and also makes no mention in his report.

hhmmm interesting, a much needed version to be put on film for all to see but a very bias one and that is unfortunate . May those fella's rest in peice . if he was as bad as you say then mcintyre would surely not have survived the encounter .
Ned Kelly intended to murder McIntyre. He was lucky to escape, but he did. This is not a biased film. It is close to 100% accurate, and destroys the numerous fictional accounts written by pro-Kelly authors. More than time, the pro-Kelly mob were exposed for their lies. If you claim it is biased, in what respect is it biased?
It is not biased at all. It is a factual representation of what actually happened. Kelly intended to murder McIntyre, but he was smart enough to escape on Kennedy's horse. He was fired on by all members of the gang. It was his evidence that convicted Kelly.
