product description

In the small farming community of Koiterangi, backward farmer Stan Graham (Jack Thompson) refuses to hand in his prized .303 rifle for the war effort. Tensions escalate into a bloodbath as Stan shoots three policemen dead then flees into the bush. Stan quickly becomes a National hero as news spreads of his courageous man-alone defiance of the law. Based on the true story of a massive 12 day manhunt on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, BAD BLOOD is an unrelenting, tense thriller acknowledged by Jack Thompson to be one of his finest films.
