It is about life, family and overall disadvantage and frustration with not having the opportunities because of the colour of your skin. A small infamous housing estate in Dubbo, NSW, is under demolition. After a riot on New Years Eve 2006, the media dubbed the Gordon Estate the "Redfern of the Bush" and the housing department announced it's order for demolition. This predominantly Aboriginal community opens their doors for the first time, highlighting what they believe is a redneck racist town, where the colour of your skin determines the quality or lack of equality of life. In a town where drugs, welfare and hopelessness, survives only to challenge the resolve of this community. We look at a white town through black eyes. Written by Anonymous See less
