Dark Emu

Directed by Allan Clarke

Thought provoking, revelatory and inspiring – this feature length documentary from Blackfella Films tells the story of Bruce Pascoe’s 2014 best-selling book, Dark Emu, which challenged thinking around Australian history.

It’s been said that ‘Dark Emu argues for a reconsideration of the ‘hunter-gatherer’ tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians and attempts to rebut the colonial myths that have worked to justify dispossession.’

Critics at the time praised the book, Marcia Langton for the Australian wrote “This is the most important book on Australia and should be read by every Australian.”
