Synopsis

One day they pushed Jimmie Blacksmith too far...
In the winter of 1900, Mrs. Newby answers her door to a late night caller. Out of the darkness rushes Jimmie Blacksmith, the hired help, armed with an axe. This is only the beginning. "I've declared war. That's what I've done - declared war". "Jimmie Blacksmith will make us cheer - before the story it tells chokes the sound on our lips". Alexander Walker, Evening Standard. "A remarkable achievement". Cosmopolitan "An epic story". The Sunday Times. "Jimmie Blacksmith is the stuff of folklore". Los Angeles Times "The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith" is a brilliant, compelling and deeply moving film from Australia's Award-winning director Fred Schepsi. It sweeps the country with searing images of love and hate, of hope and revenge.
