Clip description

Shane (John Moore) and Robby (Wayne Munro) are in jail with the Old Man (Kelton Pell). Shane and the Old Man ask Robby if he wants 'to know’.

Curator’s notes

The confusion of the younger brother Robby is also the audience’s confusion. The characters’ search for clarity is mirrored by the audience’s need for understanding the story and finding out what has occurred to Robby.
