Adaptação de romance de Thomas Keneally e baseado na história real de Jimmie Governor, um aborígene que enfrentou dificuldades para se adaptar à intolerância dos brancos na Austrália e acabou assassinando uma família de fazendeiros.
Eventually, further circumstances lead Jimmie to snap as the movie takes a grim turn with its unflinching look at Jimmie's efforts to "declare war" on the Australians who have wronged him. Fred Schepisi put a lot of his own money into the production of The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith and the results, at least critically, were overwhelming.
