Rainbow serpent

Australia, 1985

Film
A still image from A Changing culture

Presents the cultural heritage of the first Australians through their own eyes. In an unbiased, unpatronising light it paints a realistic picture of a society whose tarnished image was created by those who supposedly made this country - the European settlers.
