However, it has not always been as positive as we see in today’s film, originally, the indigenous were depicted as evil, savage and primitive sub human animals that would hinder the development of Australia early in its “white life”. One director who has really shaped the way the indigenous Australians have been viewed in film today is Rolf de Heere, born in the Netherlands in 1951 who moved to Sydney when he was just 8 years old. De Heer spent 7 years of his life working with the ABC (Australian broadcasting Company) until he decided that he had enough making other peoples programs to make some of his own. De Heer is most well-known for directing recent…

    Australia, being the multicultural country that it is and has been for decades, some form of racial discrimination will always be inevitable. Through the use of characters and visual techniques, Australian Rules and ‘Stand Up’ from the TV series Redfern: Now are able to create a representation of the indigenous race and reflect on the racial attitudes toward them at the time. Australian Rules was released in 2002, and according to the events that occurred in the film, racism and racial divide was still very present in Australian society. On several occasions during the film, conflict is demonstrated amongst white Australians and indigenous Australians. ‘Stand Up’ on the other hand, creates a rather different representation of Indigenous Australians.…

Native Americans as a whole are often stigmatized in the US and as a result fall behind in many aspects of social life, most notably in education. This inequality in educational advancement can be easily attributed to the vast differences in culture, social status, social class, roles, groups and social institutions of the many NA tribes in the US.
