Toomelah is a movie but when I watched it it looked like it could have been a documentary about how Aboriginals live their lives in their ghetto or mission. The white men came, took away everything they had, a bit like with the Native Americans, and left them unemployed, uneducated, with drugs and alcohol as their only means of life. The acting isn't bad, with clearly people that live in those conditions in real life. The story is very simple and depressing, but a bit too slow to make it a good movie. Well at least, that's my opinion. It's not a documentary but I'm sure that if you would go to one of those camps this story would be close to accurate. No future, no hope, drugs and alcohol to get away from this deadly routine.
