Franklin

At its core, Franklin follows a story that unfolds like this: Eighth-generation Tasmanian and environmentalist Oliver Cassidy embarks on a life-changing solo rafting trip down the beautiful yet remote Franklin River. His goal is to retrace his late father’s 14-day expedition to attend the blockade that helped save the World-Heritage listed national park from being destroyed by a huge hydroelectric dam project in the early 1980s.

Rather than rushing, the film lets tension build naturally, trusting the audience to keep up. The tagline — "A journey to the past. A quest for the future." — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.

Franklin is anchored by Hugo Weaving, Oliver Cassidy, and Bob Brown, working under the direction of Kasimir Burgess. Each performance brings a different texture to the film.
