Backlash (1986 film)
Backlash is a 1986 Australian film directed by Bill Bennett.
Bill Bennett had raised 175,000 from the BBC and ABC to make a documentary about black tracker Jimmy James but was reluctant to proceed. He came up with the idea for the film and wondered if he could use the money to make a feature. Bennett got approval from the tax department and most investors to do this, with J C Williamson Ltd stepping in for the BBC and ABC. The final 50,000 of the budget came from Bennett himself.Bennett wanted to add some levity in the material and so cast David Argue, who had impressed him on stage. He was impressed by Gia Carides improvisational skills in theatresports and cast her to act alongside him. Nurse Lydia Miller rounded out the main cast. ........
