Ten Canoes (DVD)

Ten Canoes

Ten Canoes

This is a wonderful film about Aborigianl Australians filmed in their own language (with subtitles, that are to be honest, rather difficult to read) It follows a young initiate on his goose egg gathering mission and his education by an older and wiser tribal elder. The story the elder tells the initiate is from the dreaming and follows the exploits of one of their ancestors. A very watchable, informative and interesting film. The extras on the DVD are also well worth a look.

Doing and Boing Rating 5/5
