Inspired by the family stories of Warwick Thornton and writer David Tranter and set against the backdrop of the 1930s colonial frontier,&nbsp;Wolfram is a taut frontier western where Aboriginal child labourers in the wolfram (tungsten) mines confront colonial brutality and injustice. In this insightful and joyous chat, Deborah shares how writer/director Warwrick Thornton had her at hello, the softness of the story that attracted her to the project, how she found a soft landing after cameras stopped rolling and the cultural obligation of telling this story and also making it entertaining for audiences.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>More Popcorn:</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://popcornpodcast.com/episodes/deborah-mailman-lily-whiteley-chris-brolga-barns-interview-kangaroo?rq=deborah\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Deborah Mailman, Chris ‘Brolga’ Barns and Lily Whiteley take us inside Outback family film Kangaroo</a></li><li><a href=\"https://popcornpodcast.com/episodes/maggie-miles-trisha-morton-thomas-interview-journey-home-david-gulpilil?rq=aboriginal\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Maggie Miles and Trisha Morton-Thomas on their landmark film honouring Australian icon David Gulpilil</a></li></ul>","author_name":"Leigh Livingstone and Tim Iffland"}
