AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The first television production of a play by an Aboriginal playwright, narrated by an Aboriginal storyteller, the 'Cake Man'. The story deals with an Aboriginal family facing emotional traumas, practical problems, and racism as they attempt to adjust to life in white society. The over-riding concern is that the white man's colonisation of Australia has been at the expense of the rights of the native Aboriginal people.
