Utopia

Synopsis: John Pilger’s film breaks what amounts to a national silence about the indigenous first people of Australia: the oldest, most enduring human presence on Earth. UTOPIA reveals that apartheid is deep within Australia’s past and present and that Aboriginal people are still living in abject poverty and Third World conditions, with a low life expectancy and disproportionately high rate of deaths in police custody.

DVD extras include more than four hours of additional interviews recorded during the filming of UTOPIA and a booklet by Pilger biographer Anthony Hayward.
