A Comparison between two film's portraying aboriginal racism-Rabbit Proof Fence and Yolungu Boy

They Aboriginal people are a very big part of the Australian tradition and culture. have been living in the country for countless generations peacefully until white settlers came upon the land and took over. Innocent natives were murdered, they were starved, stripped of their land and of their children. These are only some of the things that have been consequences of aboriginal racism. Today racism is still seen in the Australian lifestyle but it is …

…a while ago. It shows them that really they were not the bad ones, the white people were. It shows the real cruelty that the aboriginals were treated with and why they struggle so much to adapt to the white culture and mix in with white people. As one viewer comments "Rabbit-Proof Fence tells a part of contemporary history that most would like to forget." I think this statement really sums up the film well.
