In this, 6×10-minute series from director and cinematographer Dylan River (Finke: There and Back, Sweet Country) and writer Kodie Bedford (Mystery Road), Robbie Hood is a cheeky, hungry 13-year-old incarnation of the legendary thief, played here by Pedrea Jackson. Together with his best mates, Georgia Blue (Jordan Johnson) and big Little Johnny (Levi Thomas), Robbie works to right the wrongs going on in their hometown of Alice Springs. They ride around on their BMX bikes, steal food and try to survive, mostly without adult supervision. The three kids, all locals, make their debut TV appearances in these roles. Screenhub’s Rochelle Siemienowicz recommends the series, but adds the warning ‘that this is sometimes tough viewing and may break your heart just a little.’
