A satirical film made by Aborigines about their discovery of Australia and its white inhabitants.

A critical and popular success, this 'reverse angle' probe into racial inequality in Australia has developed a considerable cult following. It approaches its subject with humour but is no less effective for that, perhaps more so.

The white Australian lifestyle is seen through (patronising) Aboriginal eyes within a pseudo-documentary format, written by Geoffrey Atherden of Mother and Son fame.

Aboriginal actors Michelle Torres and Bob Maza (Heartland) are supported by a number of familiar faces, including Cecily Poison (E Street) and Tony Barry, who scored major ABC TV hits in I Can Jump Puddles and his Penguin award-winning Scales of Justice.

A classic.
