Maura: A great review. I agree with you, it's a marvelous, gentle film with a powerful message. The girls are fantastic. I found a good picture of them with Philip Noyce, and included it in a short review I wrote on my site.

That was Midnight Oil. INXS would probably never have been bothered to make a political statement like that.

The director's commentary on the DVD version is also worth watching (along with the featurette about the making which is defintely not the typical hollywood fluff PR piece you find on DVD's). It also touches on the ongoing battle for even admitting this program existed and how it was carried out. If you caught any of the Sydney Olympic coverage, you might remember the one band (was it INXS?) that wore T-shirts with the word 'Sorry' on them as their way of bringing attention to the Stolen Generations.
