Indigenous movies

For this subject we are required to write a reflective paper on an Indigenous event, movie or artwork. I chose movie. The movie I wanted to write about was The Tracker which is a brilliant film but I was unabale to find it. Neither could I find Rabbit Proof Fence. However, I had no difficulty finding Bran Nue Dae; perhaps there's a message there that only humerous cultural movies are easly accessible whereas depressing but accurate films of the mistreatment of Indigenous people are harder to find.

However, I do not mean to insinuate that humerous films have any less merit; Stone Bros is quite popular as was Bran Nue Dae (althought as a stickler for spelling typing it this way makes me cringe)
