Dark

In this film, Winkler confronts the subject of the Australian aborigine through the intercutting of footage from a contemporary aborigine political demonstration with images of the past: cave drawings, the sacred Ayers Rock and the head of an old warrior. Through assertive zoom and pan shots of the rally, Winkler achieves a sense of extraordinary energy, of a generation of people coming out of oppression.
