Charlie’s Country

David Gulpilil (of Walkabout fame) stars as Charlie, a resident of a remote Australian Aboriginal community who is chafing at the encroaching “whitefella” rules he considers as intrusive as they are nonsensical. Unlike his family and friends, who seem willing to let things be, Charlie decides to set out to explore life lived in the old way. His decision leads to a few harsh life lessons regarding simple subsistence that will leave him subdued but wiser.
