It's unusual for the ABC to feature original films on the National Broadcaster, however Here Out West breaks that trend.
I believe it just concluded streaming on the free ABC iVIEW, however for more information you can go HERE.
It took me a number of viewings to get through the entire collection of short stories that made up Here Out West. Showcasing the awesome multicultural diversity of Sydney's west, the cast is extremely diverse.
You can read a full glowing review HERE from excellent Australian TV blog, TV Tonight. Otherwise scroll below for my unique score.
The main story line bringing all storylines together is, a baby is kidnapped from hospital by a desperate grandmother. Her flight sets off a chain of events that bring together complete strangers over the course of one dramatic day.
We see a closing night of a Chinese restaurant, a nurse of a double shift sending love and most likely money back to the Phillipines, a young Aussie Vietnamese successful business man balancing both traditional family life and a high powered role.
Along with various other aspects of trying to make it out in Sydney's West. It's touching, raw and engaging. Sydney's west has a lot to offer, so Here Out West only really touches the surface.
Unless you like all the different short stories, you may wish for the current story to hurry along. Either way this was a decent watch. 2.75 Stars.
