Beyond the Wasteland

Shot in Australia, USA, Italy, France, and Japan, *Beyond the Wasteland* follows the fans from
around the world who go to extraordinary lengths in the name of Mad Max as they celebrate 40
years of this global cult phenomenon. Transporting us into the world of Mad Max, we explore the
eccentric world of the fans, their costumes, and their machines as these oddball fans find their
place amongst the Mad Max community. From the world’s largest Mad Max gathering in the USA,
*Wasteland Weekend* to Japan’s Mad Max conventions, and Australia’s own *The Search for
Max* event in Clunes, *Beyond the Wasteland* not only celebrates life but the ability to change
oneself through passion. The documentary also follows original cast member, Bertrand Cadart
as he continues his fight against stage IV leukaemia and travels from his home on the Sunshine
Coast to the “Wasteland,” the desert location of Mad Max 2 in Silverton, for the last time. This is a
truly inspiring documentary.
