Summary
After the bold and brilliant Occupation: Native, Aboriginal filmmaker Trisha Morton-Thomas teams up again with Comedy Director-Writer, Craig Anderson. They join forces with some of Australia's freshest comedic talent (Steven Oliver and Elaine Crombie) to launch a rocket into 250 years of taboos, prejudice and ignorance. When the whitefellas began to build their country on top of Aboriginal mobs' countries, they haven't really known what to do with the blackfellas in their midst. Our schools still concentrate on the last 250 odd years and most of that through a white colonial lens. HISTORY BITES BACK uses devastating satire to unpack the negative social bias of the history shared between the nation's First Peoples and modern-day Australians
