Australian Western film High Ground was released back in 2020, but over recent weeks, the movie has become a surprise hit on Paramount , rising to the top of the network's streaming charts in recent days.

The film is a fictionalised story, but inspired by the true story of the Gan Gan massacre, which occurred in 1911 in northern Australia and saw 30 men, women and children murdered by colonial police officers and settlers.

A synopsis for the film on Paramount reads: "In a remote corner of the wild country, a bloody war rages. Travis is a bounty hunter with one last hope of redemption. Gutjuk is a young Indigenous man trying to save the last of his family. Together they embark on a manhunt, which unravels a secret that ultimately pits them against each other."
