A director, a producer, two teenage actors, a small crew and six weeks in the desert. Throw in an observational documentary filmmaker and the result is a candid and affectionate behind-the-scenes look at the making of the hit feature film Samson & Delilah.

Spanning the 18-month process of the creation and release of Warwick Thornton's debut feature, Beck Cole's documentary explores the rollercoaster experience through the eyes of Samson & Delilah's two young stars - from the first casting calls to walking the red carpet at Cannes.
