Question 1

Is Nitram woke?

Accepted Answer

Nitram has a woke score of 25/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. Nitram is a 2021 Australian biographical drama directed by Justin Kurzel that follows the isolated and increasingly volatile life of a mentally distressed young man in suburban Tasmania during the mid-1990s, leading up to the 1996 Port Arthur massacre (the perpetrator is never named and the killings are not shown). The film centers on family tensions, social disconnection, and personal descent without depicting the violence itself. It includes a subtle cautionary emphasis on lax gun access and mental health support failures in the historical context, visible primarily through key scenes and an ending text card. No identity themes, representation emphasis, or social-justice messaging appear.
