Overview:	The Australian Movie Classic The World Applauded! Written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Phillip Noyce (PATRIOT GAMES, DEAD CALM), NEWSFRONT tells the story of the previously unsung newsreel cameramen, who raced to beat deadlines and dangers to capture on film, for a voracious audience of cinemagoers, the historic moments that were shaping a young nation. But their days were numbered, as a new technology called television threatened to bring the world into the living room instantaneously. Featuring one of the finest Australian casts ever assembled, including Bill Hunter (MURIEL'S WEDDING, STRICTLY BALLROOM), Wendy Hughes (MY BRILLIANT CAREER) and Bryan Brown (F/X, THE THORN BIRDS), this dynamic drama garnered raves from critics around the globe and won eight Australian Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.
