The Real Ned Kelly
Australia’s
Robin Hood or a murderous thug? The real story of Australia's infamous
outlaw hero, brought to life with dramatic reconstructions and the
descendants of those he killed.
When Ned Kelly burst out of a country pub in the Australian town of
Glenrowan in 1880 clad in a suit of iron, he was set not only to take
on a rogue police force, but to become his nation’s very own
knight in shining armour.
This is the story of Australia’s infamous outlaw hero, for most a
revolutionary who fought to tear his country from the shackles of
Mother England. But descendants of his Gang, the policemen he
gunned down and the townsfolk he held hostage tell a different
story. Ned may be less the rebel hero and more the violent yob.
