Description
This is a story of personal tragedy, political rivalries, corruption and trial by media that nearly tore apart Australia at the moment of its birth. In the late 1800s, two men shared a vision for opening up Western Australia by pumping a river of water through pipes across the desert. Isolated goldfields were ripe with precious metal, but the people were dying of thirst. The state's first Premier and leading explorer, John Forrest, had a vision to take water to the goldfields. In Charles Yelverton O'Connor, he found the man he needed to turn his dreams into reality. At the time, the biggest and most ambitious engineering project of its kind in the world would save thousands from disease and drought, unlock untold riches in gold, and allow the 'Cinderella' state of Western Australia to take her rightful place in Australia's Commonwealth. But the five long years of the pipeline's construction would be dogged with controversy, destroy reputations and push an individual to breaking point. As Australia voted for Federation, becoming the new Australian Commonwealth, the dream of water in the goldfields finally became a reality, but it was at a huge personal cost. Produced with the assistance of ScreenWest and Lotterywest. Developed and produced in association with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. A Film Australia Making History Production in association with Prospero Productions. 2011 National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, Prospero Productions, ScreenWest Executive producer: Alex West Producer: Julia Redwood, Ed Punchard Director: Franco di Chiera Writer: Franco di Chiera, John McCourt DOP/Cinematographer: Ian Batt Narrator/Presenter: Wendy Hughes Principal Cast: Murray Dowsett, Luke Hewitt, Noel O'Neill, Ryan Quin, Mike Anthony Sheehy, Richard Mellick, Neil Hansen, Barry Strickland, George Shevstov, Peter Docker, James Hagan, Janet Pettigrew, Hannah Sutton, Martin Harvey, Heath Bergesen, Adrian Ugle, Greg Ugle, Peter Ugle, Sam Watson, Sascha Watson.
