Cleverman on Sundance

[Hautex]

This show deserves a thread, in my opinion... The Aborigines have always fascinated me since the old movie about John Glenn seeing the sparks out of his spacecraft window. They have evolved and devolved these noble folks in one series that is quite well done. It is supernatural, super human, and a poignant commentary on how well we prejudge everyone who looks and acts differently. Worth the watch... It's on Wednesday evenings

I watched it too. Socio-political theme is pretty heavy handed but does echo historical treatment of the Aborigines.  The Aboriginal mysticism parts may keep me watching and hitting Wikipedia.

You recall this movie? Based on the British nuclear stuff done on Aboriginal land and infamous commission

Thank you, I do not remember that one, although I'm constantly being accused of watching too many flicks. Hopefully Netflix has it

My thanks too. Since my "weak ass Mexican internet" can't stream movies, I will keep an eye out for it

Pleez don't name him!  I'm recovering from a migraine myself.  Eye exam and new glasses won't help?
