Indigenous Australian actress and writer Leah Purcell is set to debut her first feature as a director, The Drover's Wife (Legend of Molly Johnson), at SXSW's Narrative Spotlight this month. The film, one of three Australian projects screening as part of the annual festival's online program, in its basic form tells the story of a woman raising her children in the outback while her husband is absent, though its themes of gender, identity and class make it a robust character study.
