The Screen Guide

Since the Tasmanian Aborigines were declared extinct in 1876 the survivors have lived with the denial of their existence. Their search for ancestral graves on tiny Flinders Island, the site of a disastrous colonial experiment, prompts a new assessment of white racism and black resistance. In exploring the cultural renaissance in Tasmania and challenging the notion that 'only black-skinned people are real Aborigines' the film relates to many post-colonial societies.
