Nice Colored Girls

Tracey Moffatt 1987 Australia Documentary color 16min English 16mm
This stylistically daring film audaciously explores the history of exploitation between white men and aboriginal women, juxtaposing "the first encounter" between colonizers and native women with the attempts of modern urban aboriginal women to reverse their fortunes. Through counterpoint of sound, image, and printed text, the film conveys the perspective of aboriginal women while acknowledging their consciousness.
