Event description

Women in Media NSW is delighted to be able to offer our members a special advanced screening of The Drover’s Wife The Legend of Molly Johnson, a new Australian legend from visionary writer, director and actor Leah Purcell. 

The Drover’s Wife The Legend Of Molly Johnson is Leah’s debut feature film which world premiered at SXSW as part of their Narrative Spotlight programme in March 2021. Women in Media are also delighted to have Leah Purcell join us for a Q&A following the screening.  

The film is directed by and written by Leah, co-produced by her production company Oombarra Productions, and sees Leah star in the leading role of Molly Johnson. Her previous adaptations of The Drover’s Wife include the multi-award-winning theatrical play which was a sell-out success at Belvoir St Theatre, and the novel which is currently available through Penguin Random House. Leah received the Jury Grand Prize for her courage and resilience in writing, directing, starring and producing in her feature film debut as a filmmaker at the 2021 Asia Pacific Screen Awards in November 2021.
