Indeed. However, the article lifts the veil on the sad truth that the filmmaker misrepresented the actual situation in an unconscionable number of ways; unconscionable, that is, if the film is meant to be taken as quasi-documentary, which clearly it is.This shocking development also calls into question the very concept of an "appalling track record of human rights abuses for Aboriginal people". Could that be a lie as big as the movie's?
Very disturbing.
