This is our country too (trailer) [2]
A brave new documentary that delves beyond Australia's reputation of
sun, surf and sand to reveal a nation ruptured by a deep racial
divide and contested history. Currently under investigation by the
United Nations Australia's controversial Intervention Laws are the
starting point of this film. In June 2007, the Australian government
took the unprecedented step of suspending its Race Relations Act to
introduce the Intervention - a series of draconian, federal-backed
laws designed to control the flow of alcohol and pornography into
'prescribed communities' in the Northern Territory. It was a
reactionary response to endemic alcoholism and supposedly endemic
child abuse in these communities, though there is little data to
support the latter accusation. Featuring interviews with prominent
Aboriginal leaders, Pat Turner, niece of 'Australia'a Mandela,'
Charlie Perkins, Pat Dodson, spearhead of the reconciliation
movement, actor/artist David Gulpilil and Jenny Macklin, Minister of
Indigenous Affairs, This is Our Country Too puts the world's focus on
Australia's indigenous people's forgotten plight and advances the
question: How will Australia reconcile with it's indigenous people?
