Kurzel brought forth the offensive true story of the notoriously famous Snowtown Murders. It told the story of John Justin Bunting and his accomplices who killed at least 12 people in and around where Kurzel spent his childhood.

The movie was named "Snowtown" (2011) and it won the “Audience Award” at the Adelaide Film Festival where it premiered.
