With Aussie veteran Anthony LaPaglia ('Without A Trace', 'Lantana') starring alongside emerging actor Ryan Corr ('Holding The Man', 'Packed To The Rafters'), 'Below' is a new 'pitch-black comedy' that provides a provocative take on Australia's asylum-seeker detention system.
When darkweb con-artist Dougie lands in the bloody deep end of a scam gone wrong, his gruff stepdad, Terry, agrees to pay off his debts. In return, Dougie must take a job at the refugee detention centre where Terry works.
Ever the grifter, Dougie discovers a way to make cash by live-streaming the underground fight club run by the centre's morally bankrupt security staff. However, when things inevitably go south, Dougie may be the only one willing to take a stand.
The feature debut of Norwegian-born Iranian-Australian director Maziar Lahooti, 'Below' also features Phoenix Raei ('The Heights', 'Click Bait'), Alison Whyte ('The Kettering Incident', 'Satisfaction'), Morgana O'Reilly ('Wentworth') and Zenia Starr ('The Gloaming').
