| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA gripping portrait of the clash between cultures and the underlying distrust that is at the heart of all racism |
| User ReviewAmanda Rmoving story of a town where the combined laws of white and black Australia rule... where the familiar understanding of how Aboriginal people believe that being imprisoned is like being dead anyway... It shows that relations between white and black still are not understood yet not fully excepted... |
| User ReviewLee MWhen people nominate the best Australian movies, they rarely nominate this. And that's a shame. This was the sleeper hit of 1997, and deserves mention just for showing that Ernie Dingo isn't always an annoying twit. Seriously though, Bryan Brown is scarily good in this, and the questions the movie poses are as relevant today as they were 100 years ago. Should white man's laws supersede the black man's? And when? |
| User ReviewKieran TDecent Australian drama which is totally under rated. Great story and nice performances. |
| User ReviewDean MNicely acted piece, particularly by actor Aaron Pedersen, cannot overcome the convoluted and sometimes heavy-going drama film. |
