Meanwhile, his book editor wife attempts to publish a novel by an Aboriginal writer but is opposed by her racist publisher.Their children are also finding life in Sydney tough, with Hannah suffering depression and young Sam questioning his sexuality.When Colin begrudgingly accepts work as a writer on a TV show, he develops a crush on another writer's girlfriend capping his downward spiral in the Emerald City.Directed by Michael Jenkins Emerald City stars Nicole Kidman, Robyn Nevin and John Hargreaves |
