Ned Kelly

Narrated by renowned Australian actor Jack Thompson, this documentary tells the story of a man who for most Australians is our first revolutionary, a persecuted hero who fought to tear his country from the shackles of Mother England and free his people from the corruption of British rule. From the moment the Kelly Gang burst out of the Glenrowan Inn in 1880 clad in suits of iron forged from old farm ploughs, he was set not only to take on the colony's rogue police force, but to become Australia's very own knight in shining armour. Today his values are touted as those of a nation, he is our beloved 'underdog', the true 'Aussie battler'.

Though recognized for heroism as a lad, Ned Kelly can not escape the stigma of being the eldest of a brood sired by a known criminal.

Kate Kelly, the daring sister of legendary bushranger Ned Kelly, was mysteriously found dead in a lagoon outside the NSW town of Forbes in 1898.
