John Curran Directs the Film Adaptation of a Global Bestseller

"Tracks" is a road movie based on the unconventional adventure of a real-life woman, Robyn Davidson. The film is an adaptation of Davidson's own memoir, "Tracks: One Woman's Journey Across the Australian Outback," which became a global bestseller and was also reported in "National Geographic" at the time.

The film is directed by John Curran, who is based in Australia. The production team also includes the duo of Iain Canning and Emile Sherman, known for their work on "The King's Speech."

Starring Mia Wasikowska, an Australian native known for her roles in films such as "Alice in Wonderland", she delivers a compelling performance as a relatable woman growing through her journey. Adam Driver, who will appear in the highly anticipated "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" later this year, plays the photographer Rick. Additionally, Loene Carmen, an Aboriginal elder, plays a pivotal role, bringing Robin new joy and discovery.

Robin Decides to Embark on an Adventurous Journey to Fill the Void in Her Heart

Alice Springs, Central Australia, 1975. In her mid-twenties, Robin arrives in this town from the city, seeking something to fill the emptiness in her heart. She begins learning how to train camels, working tirelessly on ranches and dairy farms. Her goal is to traverse the vast desert of the western region on foot, reaching the Indian Ocean, 2,000 miles away.

In April 1977, Robin sets out from Alice Springs with four camels and her dog, Diggity. Facing the harsh realities of nature time and again, Robin steadily advances, her feet firmly planted on the ground, taking one step at a time. At the end of her tumultuous journey, she discovers invaluable moments that will become treasures for a lifetime.

Set against the backdrop of majestic, mystical, and beautiful nature, the story follows Robin's relentless and determined journey as she overcomes trials and grows, finding her place in the world. This true story, filled with wonder and emotion, is sure to resonate with many.
