Downriver

Directed by Grant Scicluna

Although a young man is accused of drowning a little boy and is placed in juvenile detention, he has little memory of the event. Now, out on parole, he searches for answers that may give a grieving mother closure.
Adapted from the short film 'The Wilding (2012)'.
Downriver is a dark Australian drama about a young man returning to the site of a childhood crime and trying to uncover what really happened. Grant Scicluna creates a tense, oppressive atmosphere, and the film’s queer themes sit inside a broader, disturbing story about guilt and memory.
