The Dirtwater Dynasty (Mini-Series) (3 discs)
1988, 450 minutes, Rated M
Spanning three generations and eight decades, THE DIRTWATER DYNASTY is the story of bitter rivalry, driving ambition, triumph and despair.
It is the story of Richard Eastwick, a man whose breadth of vision is as large as the continent he tries to conquer.
Born in a London slum, Richard is just 20 when he arrives in Australia in search of a dream - to build a dynasty out of dirt, water and a fist full of courage. By the time he is 40 he is one of the wealthiest landowners in the country.
He raises children, grand-children, makes loyal friends and bitter enemies. Both world wars and the Depression leave their scars. But the one thing that keeps him going is his dream to pass on what he has built to future generations of Eastwicks.
Starring Hugo Weaving as Richard Eastwick, and featuring Victoria Longley, Steve Jacobs, Judy Morris, Dennis Miller, Harold Hopkins, Peter Phelps and Bruce Spence THE DIRTWATER DYNASTY is epic Australian drama from Kennedy Miller.
