Raised by missionaries, Jimmie Blacksmith, a young half-castle Aboriginal man, is poignantly caught between the ways of his black forefathers and those of the white society to which he aspires. Exploited by his boss and betrayed by his [white] wife, he declares war on his white employers and goes on a violent killing spree. The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith was one of the most significant films of the 1970s renaissance. It was the first Australian feature in which the whole story is told from an Aboriginal perspective and it broke new ground in dealing with one of the most tragic aspects of Australian history: the racist treatment of the Aboriginal population.

Five boys, aged 8 to 12, had recorded their own rap lines to a simple didgeridoo beat. Music lovers across Australia were rapt. Known as the Wilcannia Mob when the song hit high rotation, the media came looking for the new boy band from far western NSW. Till then theyd been just a bunch of passionate kids having fun at a holiday workshop. Down River is an illustrated version of the journey taken by those five young boys, their families and their community. It traces their origins from a makeshift recording studio in a town long forgotten, to centre-stage in front of 20,000 fans at the Homebake Music Festival in December 2002. In doing so it gives us privileged insights into Barkandji country and some of the people living there.
