Red Dog: True Blue
Part of the FilmFest Junior Strand
A glorious tale of youthful adventure in the outback as a young boy and an Australian Kelpie sheep dog become the best of friends. This beautifully shot prequel (to 2011 hit film Red Dog) is a gem of a family film. Bookended with clever references to the original film, this new version heads back to the late 1980s with 11-year-old Mick (Levi Miller) sent to live with his stern farmer grandfather (a wonderful Bryan Brown) on a vast cattle station. He bonds with a cute puppy he finds covered in blue mud after a storm, and the pair embark on a series of great adventures amidst the stunning Aussie landscape.
