What Stir Is About
The film follows the tension between prisoners and guards inside an Australian jail as it builds into a riot. What matters most about it is where the script came from: Bob Jewson wrote it because he was there. He was inside during the Bathurst riot of 1974, after which a royal commission was opened into the prisons of New South Wales. Stephen Wallace’s first feature treats the events not as personal drama but as institutional failure. Bryan Brown plays one of the prisoners and Max Phipps a guard. It screened at Cannes in 1980.
