It is footage and interviews compiled together to create a coherent story of a young indigenous boy dismantled by the system . If you are interested in indigenous culture and or social justice regarding this, then this is a great source of information . The director has filmed real life moments with real people and is displaying it simply as that, without any regard to modern art or societal expectations. A documentary needs to practically succeed in two things, that being interesting content and coherency with the exception of emotional attachment / meaningful awareness aswell . this documentary succeeds in all three critical aspects . I would rate this film 10, but the fact that is a documentary defies my IMDB ethos .

Quality documented visual information
Self determination goes a long way
This film shows me that if you give people the privilege to make the most of their lives (and culture), you give the same people the best opportunity of living their lives meaningfully and being fulfilled. Now Australia, we just need to invest in that.
Highlights the importance of culture
Maya Newell is a talented storyteller who gives kids and the things they have to say the chance to shine. A very fine and sensitive compilation of scenes that illustrates the inner conflict experienced by a young boy with dual cultural identity, in addition to the barriers the Arrernte people face preserving their culture. This reflection on the beauty and value of culture made me feel deep sadness imagining how a minority culture may be lost forever if it is not respected.
