The Circuit (2007)

The Circuit (2007) pivots around the life of Drew Ellis, an accomplished lawyer who vacates the comfort of his urban legal career to plunge into the tumultuous wilderness of the Kimberley Circuit Court. Known for his charm, confidence, and competence, Drew embarks on an arduous five-day, 2000-kilometer journey, accompanying a magistrate and a procession of court officers and lawyers who traverse the dusty, sun-scorched expanses of North Western Australia to deliver justice to its remote communities. This isn't a journey for the faint-hearted, and Drew, being a city-bred blackfella, finds himself completely out of his depth. Thrust into a world that is as chaotic as it is challenging, he grapples with the stark realities of two cultures governed by a single law, a revelation that sends ripples of discontent through his understanding of fairness. The Circuit offers a vivid exploration of Drew's rude awakening, as he navigates the complexities of this legal odyssey, wrestling with the disparity between urban comfort and remote hardship, and questioning the ideal of equal justice under the scorching Australian sun.

The Circuit is a drama show featuring Gary Sweet.
