The greatest Australian survival story never told - until now. He fought Napoleon’s army and lived. He was sent to the gallows and escaped the noose. Now he is in chains and on his way to the other side of the world. The 19th century has just begun. The world is at war. England is exiling thousands of criminals to an old land that has become its newest dumping ground. One of those prisoners is William Buckley, barely 21. On a moonlit night Buckley escapes and disappears into the Australian bush. Discovered and adopted by an aboriginal tribe, he is initiated into their rich and complex culture. He will not be seen again for more than 30 years until he emerges one day...carrying a spear, dressed in animal skins and having forgotten the English language. Buckley’s Chance is a profound journey into a turning point in history where cultures clash, bitter rivals go to war and the body count mounts. It’s also the story of a man who refuses to be held down. A man prepared to defy all odds and take a chance. Buckley’s chance.
