Review of Wrong Kind of Black

I thought I knew of the struggle of the Aboriginal people but after watching THE WRONG KIND OF BLACK, I realised I knew nothing. Set in the 70's, this is the true story of an ordinary Aboriginal man from Townsville who became truly extraordinary. Boori Monty Pryor is a young DJ in a thriving Melbourne metropolis, trying to find his way, fit in and stay out of trouble. He finds himself thrust into the evolving face of modern Australian culture and ultimately becomes a powerful instrument of change. For the most part this story makes it's point in a very funny and entertaining way, however I must warn you, it does sneak up on you and punch you in the guts. It is a punch that you need to feel. At least I needed to feel it. Regardless of your culture, race or background you will be able to relate to this story because it is a personal story... a human story. THE WRONG KIND OF BLACK will make you laugh, make you think, make you cry and leave you a better human being than you were before you saw it.
