The Nightingale
A determined Irish convict hunts a brutal British officer through Tasmania’s unforgiving wilderness, enlisting an Aboriginal tracker whose own quest for justice forces them into a deadly clash with colonial power.
“Her song will not be silenced.”
Synopsis
In 1825, Clare, a 21-year-old Irish convict, pursues a British soldier through the rugged Tasmanian wilderness, seeking revenge for a violent act he committed against her family. She hires an Aboriginal tracker, who has also experienced trauma from a violent past, to assist in the pursuit.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
