Charlie's Country

Written by Rolf de Heer and David Gulpilil as a collaborative project, Charlie's Country stars Gulpilil as black fella Charlie, who is getting older, and is out of
sorts. The government's intervention is making life more difficult in his remote community, what with the proper policing of white fella laws that don't generally make much sense, and Charlie's kin seeming more interested in going along with things than doing anything about it. So Charlie takes off, to live the old way, but in doing so sets off a chain of events in his life that has him return to his community chastened, and somewhat the wiser.
