Dead Heart

(Nick Parsons) 1996 Australia 101 mins MA

When a young Aborigine is found dead in the police lockup, the local cop (Bryan Brown) finds that his rule-bending ways are no longer sufficient to prevent racial conflict & violence. Using Aboriginal deaths in custody as a springboard, Nick Parson's compelling portrait tackles the complex issue of the clash of cultures & racial relationships in central Australia. With brilliant performances from a stellar cast including Ernie Dingo, John Jarratt, Lewis Fitz-Gerald, Angie Millikin, David Gulpilil & Aaron Pedersen.

Preceded at 7.00 pm by Bitter Springs.
