AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Warwick Thornton’s Samson and Delilah (2009) is an unnerving and brutal portrayal of a rural Australian reality; one that we can no longer simply ignore. 'Amidst the governments failing targets to ‘close the gap’ for Aboriginal Australians, Thornton’s 2009 film has a newfangled relevance within public consciousness. Samson and Delilah is much more than an adolescent romance; it is a stark contrast of Australian pride and failures, a bleak and truthful demonstration of where systematic government failure has led, and, a simultaneous celebration of the survival and resilience of the Aboriginal peoples.'
