Fantastic poignant film about life

I think this film excellent with the cinematography. Greg Rowe was excellent, he wasn't schmaltzy, he played it straight and not over sentimental. The stubbornness and respectful approach to his strange, overly quiet dad. The pelicans were fantastic. There was very little CGI used in 1976, all the pelican shots were real. So sad about the inhumanity towards animals, and the shooters. It showed a true side of Aboriginal culture and they do have their owns laws for people who break them. Fingerbone was a good man, who had broken aboriginal law. For people who wish to see this film, it is available online on Google Movies or the DVD is available to be purchased on Amazon
