Storm Boy

Film Description

10 year-old Mike lives on the South Australian coast with his father and his aborigine friend, Fingerbone Bill. One day he rescues three orphaned pelican chicks and nurtures them until they're fully grown when he lets them go free. One of the pelicans returns to Mike and becomes his pet, which he names Mr Percival. Their world is interrupted by local teachers urging him to attend school and the hunters who are after Mr Percival.

Winner of best film at the 1977 Australian Film Institute awards and regarded by many as the ‘Kes’ of Australia, ‘Storm boy’ is a heart-warming journey through childhood.
