The most prominent role in the movie was given to Aboriginal Australian activist Clive Andrew Williams (1915–1980).[1][2][3] Upon the film's release, Williams was dismayed to find that the Australian Department of Territories had been using the movie as propaganda to promote the cultural assimilation of Aboriginal people.[4]
The movie was produced by the Commonwealth Film Unit.[5] It was directed by Bob Kingsbury. It was premiered on ABC and aired on National Indigenous Peoples Day in successive years.[6]
