Samson and Delilah is the story of two Indigenous teenagers growing up in a socio-economically disadvantaged community in central Australia. Samson (Rowan McNamara) and Delilah (Marissa Gibson) struggle to find the strength, courage and resilience to rise above the challenges of poverty, grief and racism around them. To escape a small and poor community, Samson and Delilah move to the nearest large town, Alice Springs. They have no money and sleep under a bridge. Samson uses petrol to control his perception of reality, to blank out his pain, loss and misery; Delilah begins sniffing petrol too and together they traverse the streets of Alice Springs and suffer disdain, abuse and deprivation. Supported by a homeless alcoholic called Gonzo (Scott Thornton) and family from the community, the two survive their lowest ebb and rebuild their lives. They return to the desert to Delilah’s traditional country to rehabilitate from petrol sniffing and try to build a life in tune with their cultural heritage.
