The Screen Guide

This film looks at the issue of the assimilation of Aborigines into white Australian society, with particular focus on the case of James Savage, an Aborigine who was adopted at birth and taken to the USA. James Savage is now on 'Death Row' in Florida. Scenes from the courtroom are interwoven with testimony from other 'removed' Aboriginal children to show how much the disruption of James Savage's early life contributed to his becoming a murderer.
