As I have grown up with a lot of similarities of Lena I find the movie very emotional and close to my heart.
The small town kids with no real direction for their future other then smoke, drink and do petty crime. Lena with a white dad and Aboriginal mum, in my case it was a white mum and Aboriginal dad.
The violence which isn't really shown to much in the movie, the longing to belong to one culture or another and the analogy of travelling to find a better future.
Iven has obviously lived the same sort of life especially in the earlier ears if his life to portray such a factual story.
Damien Pitt a natural actor and passed away to early to see the depth of his acting skills and Danielle Hall were remarkable in this movie. Why either of them didn't try for bigger things I could understand the small town life and especially the Aboriginal cultural issues and to break free from such strong community connections is very difficult.
I couldn't give it any less than 9
