Watch Breaker Morant | Netflix

A couple of weeks back I announced the new movie club here at WAIM called What Am I Watching. For the first installment we’ll be watching the 1980 Australian classic, Breaker Morant.

The film centers around three officers in an Australian offshoot of the British Army during the Boer War in South Africa at the turn of the 20th century. These officers are on trial for three separate murder charges. The Australians are seen by the British Empire as possible sacrifices in a chess match designed to eventually end the war in South Africa.
