Charlie's Country (2013)
Beautiful film about the struggle for Indigenous Australians to maintain their culture
28 July 2022 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
I was impressed by Charlie's stoic resilience, as well as by his honest, wry sense of humor, and irreducible element of rascality.
A foreboding, tragic sense of loss hangs over the movie because this is ultimately a tale about the consequences of colonisation, including an ongoing cultural genocide.
The hope seems to lie in the rich details of Indigenous ways of living. The sharing, the the conversations, the country, the language, art, dance etc.
