This kind of stuff goes back a long way biblically justified believe that the white man was superior combined with social darwinism.

Do a google search under eugenics if you really want to find something equally shocking.

Manifest Destiny in America was a result of the same mindset, along with the general attitude towards the Red Man.

Whole civilizations were destroyed.

I saw that movie Rabbit Proof Fence, it was amazing what those kids did.


Hate to say this but manifest destiny adherents still abound. PNAC for example?

what's so interesting about Gulpilil is that he still lives in the bush when he's not making films. He's in the Tracker as well, I put the youtube link up. that's another exellent film and has you rooting for Gulpilil at the end of it. It's also an extremely ironic funny film .


Mags, Thank you:-4



I'm always enamered with your country and will be watching all names of films that you put up here. I should have Walkabout in a few days. I googled the film and also watched your youtube...can't wait to see this film...sounds terrific and very bittersweet:-6
