This movie is so real. I grew up in west NSW in a white family with a father who couldn't stand "blacks"! He owned a pub called the Globe! He raised his family in a predominantly "black" town. His best friends were Mr & Mrs White, ironically Mrs White was "black" but was never allowed to admit it. Mrs White committed suicide when she was 48. When dad died he had 6 "black" grand kids and 11 "black" great grand kids. He didn't mellow. He caused so much sadness and rejected so much love.
Thanks for bringing to the world a taste of the cultural richness that constitutes Australia. I sing, cry, laugh, cry and sing from shame, pride and pleasure every time I watch The Sapphires. Another brilliant Australian film. Thank you.
