Exile And The Kingdom

Exile And The Kingdom
NR 1 hr 50 minDocumentary
A comprehensive account of the experiences of a community of Aboriginal people from precolonial times to the 1990s This film makes the connection between Aboriginals in chains in the 19th century and Aboriginal people in prisons today so providing a deeper understanding of how the violence and denials of the past inform the present It argues that the relentless removal of the YindjibarndiNgarluma people into coastal ghettos has led to the communitys current problems Yet it never allows the viewer to forget the significance and influence of spiritual homelands the bedrock upon which YindjibarndiNgarluma tribal law is based Above all Exile and the Kingdom is a beautifully logical and persuasive argument for land rights
