Pioneers of Love is a dramatic film, suitable for senior secondary students. The film presents an epic saga set in the early twentieth century, Pioneers of Love is a film about the Illin family who flee the persecution of the Czar in St Petersburg, Russia, and settle in far-north Queensland in their quest to find a 'working man's paradise'.
Leandro Illin, 28, son of patriarch Nicholas, became involved with Kitty Clark, an Aboriginal woman of the Ngadjon people, traditional owners of the Atherton Tablelands. They have a child together and in their battle to formalise their relationship they confront a harsh and intolerant regime that forces them to live on the fringes.
The film makes evocative use of dramatic re-enactments and also incorporates poignant interview material with the many descendents of this passionate Russian and his Aboriginal lover.
