Based on Archie Weller's award winning novel The Day of The Dog, Blackfellas tells the story of Doug Douligan (John Moore, Pitch Black), a half-caste Aborigine caught between an undying allegiance to his people and his greater aspirations to be free from the deadly cycle of violence and self-destructive behaviour in which they live. Both buoyed and perturbed by his life-long friend, the charismatic larrikin “Pretty Boy” Floyd (AFI Award winner David Ngoombujarra, Black and White), Doug finds himself deeply attracted to free spirited young Polly (Jaylene Riley) - presenting a future full of possibilities. But Doug is made all the more aware of his precarious position by his white mother (Julie Hudspeth, Shame) and like it or not, must face his past in order to truly understand his heritage. A bold and controversial film, exploring the very heart of Australian race relations and winner of 2 AFI Awards, Blackfellas is presented in a new widescreen transfer and also features first-rate performances from Ernie Dingo (Bran Nue Dae) and John Hargreaves (Don's Party).

By the way smoking was banded in nsw prisons n visiting areas already in 1992 -
It's such a selfish crime to commit against other ordinary people who depend on their cars to get to work every day. Only selfish punks rob and steal from other ordinary people.
It's anti working class and inhuman.
No sympathy here for anyone who gets locked up or shot in the course of stealing a car.
Are you with us?
Always Was & Always Will Be Aboriginal Land.
