Story summary

Common Wealth opens theatrically in Australia and New Zealand on June 23.
Kane Guglielmi will tour 30 cities across Australia and New Zealand from June 23.
The documentary, shot in eight countries, features Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave and examines housing insecurity, cost-of-living pressure and conflict.
Guglielmi sold the spec script “The Groundbreaker,” a 19th-century story about Irish immigrant John Mackay, and said release feels timely because the documentary’s topics have become central concerns.
