درباره این فیلم

Ten-year-old Dujuan is a child-healer, a good hunter and speaks three languages. As he shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him we see his spark and intelligence. Yet Dujuan is 'failing' in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police. As he travels perilously close to incarceration, his family fight to give him a strong Arrernte education alongside his western education lest he becomes another statistic. We walk with him as he grapples with these pressures, shares his truths and somewhere in-between finds space to dream, imagine and hope for his future self.

This is a beautiful piece of cinematography, but it's fundamentally a preachy propaganda piece for highly suspect pedagogical theories. I suspect it is one of those films that will not age well. Unless of course you believe that it's appropriate to teach children that they have mystical healing powers just because they happen to be black.

This is such a gorgeous, illuminating, and damning film.

Awesome movie about indigenous culture and nearly cultural practises 💜
