High Ground

An engaging movie which attempts to integrate indigenous Australian culture through POV, music and language. I particularly enjoyed the long shots of the beautiful scenery and the contrast of the two cultures and their interaction with each other and the landscape. I did not find it biased politically, as some other reviewers claim, as the movie simply lays out the events in an impartial way. Unfortunately, these things did actually happen and need to be acknowledged. I did think the characters were underdeveloped and many of the actors were given little to work with eg Aaron Peterson. The story is simplistic but I guess this is part of the limitation of trying to get a big message across in just one movie.
