> Gday all,
>
> Just a friendly note to let you know what's on ABC TV during NAIDOC
> week:
>
> Monday to Thursday @ 11am, Storytellers of the Pacific. This four part
> series examines issues relating to contemporary indigenous people in the
> Pacific region. It specifically focuses on culture, spirituality,
> history
> and their experiences and survival after colonisation. Each program
> contains five segments from Australia, NZ, Canada, Samoa and the USA.
>
> Tuesday, 8.00pm Bush Mechanics gives a comical look at the way "bush"
> Aboriginal people have adopted the car and created a unique craft of
> Bush
> Mechanics. It is a larger than life tale of outback indigenous
> ingenuity,
> of desert men and the unusual ways their cars a kept on track.
>
> Tuesday, 11.15pm. An evocative portrayal of Aboriginal life in the
> early
> eighties, Wrong Side of the Road follows the Aboriginal bands "Us Mob"
> and
> "No Fixed Address" on the road. After a band member is arrested and
> subsequently escapes from a police vehicle, the film continues with
> run-ins
> between the musicians and "the establishment".
>
> Wednesday, 11.15pm Ray's Story. Having lived in "the white man's
> world",
> Ray is an educated, angry young man who has returned to Redfern to
> dedicate
> himself to defending his people against racism and discrimination.
>
> Screening Thursday, 11.15pm is Babakiueria. An examination of
> black-white
> relations in Australia, the film is set in the fictitious land of
> Babakiueria, where white people are the minority and must obey black
> laws.
> A critical and popular success, this reverse angle probe into racial
> inequality in Australia has developed a considerable cult following. It
> approaches it's subject with humour but it is no less effective for that
> -
> perhaps more so. The white Australian lifestyle is seen through
> patronising
> Aboriginal eyes within the pseudo-documentary format. Written by
> Geoffrey
> Atherden of "Mother and Son" fame. Won a United Nations Media Peace
> Prize.
>
> Friday 11am, The Kimberley : Land of the Wandjina. The images are
> painted
> on the rocks, but their spirits are in the monsoon clouds that blow in
> from
> the North. They are the Wandjina, guardians of one of the last great
> wilderness areas on Earth - the Kimberley region of north west
> Australia.
> Everything in the Kimberley has adapted to live with the cycles of
> returning
> water.
>
> Enjoy!
