Dir. Stephen Johnson

Aroview: Three contrasting aboriginal boys from Arnhem Land, North Australia undertake a harsh journey out of loyalty when the petrol-sniffing habits of one of their number forces him to flee the authorities. Tough-hearted in approach, with an honest, rare and detailed portrait of teenage life in a culture caught between traditional values and globalisation.
