About Debra Expertise I can answer most questions on TV and movies from the USA and Australia, from the old Hollywood days of the 40's to now. If I dont know the show, I will do my utmost to search for the answer. The more information you can give the better eg: if it was about a boy and his dog, even the breed of dog would help. I will endeavour to answer as soon as possible after receiving your question but, please know, Im in Australia, so you may be asking while Im snoring.
Experience
Education/Credentials I was educated by constant watching and, if you google australia for the name Bill Collins, the aussie guru of film, well I always thought I must be a relative of his, but mum says no.
Question I think this movie is about 15 - 20 years old. I think it was made for HBO, Cinemax, or one of the cable channels.
The movie revolves around the life of a young girl who is shipwrecked on the coast of Australia in the late 1800's or early 1900's. She is raised by a local family and is eventually involved with a riverboat business. I think the river was the Murray. I think the word river is in the title.
Thanks
Answer Gday Bill,
Im pretty sure you are thinking about a movie called "All The Rivers Run". It starred Sigrid Thornton, a much loved actress here in Australia. Check out this link to see if it's right. Please get back to me if its not correct.
