Running With Crutches poster

Locked down, shielded and isolated, ShoPaapaa hobbles around his tiny universe. In a monologue that has no audience, he rails against racism and bullies, he ponders his existence lying fallen on the floor, and he makes his bed...slowly, miserably, painfully. And he never loses hope.

The Balanda and the Bark Canoes poster
NR

A documentary about making the feature film "Ten Canoes". It is May, 2005 in Central Arnhem Land: 'We are making a movie. The story is their story, those that live on this land, in their language, and set a long time before the coming of the Balanda, as we white people are known. For the people of the Arafura Swamp, this film is an opportunity, maybe a last chance to hold on to the old ways. For all of us, the challenges are unexpected, the task beyond anything imagined. For me, it is the most difficult film I have made, in the most foreign land I've been to...and it is Australia.' - Rolf de Heer
