Are Aboriginals in Australia Better off Today, Compared to 100 Years Ago During the Stolen Generation?
Australian independence from Britain changed little in the relationship between Whites and Aborigines.

As large sheep and cattle stations came to dominate outback Australia, Aboriginal men, women and children became a significant source of labour,

Macbeth Review
Roman Polanski's version of macbeth is certainly the most real and immediate filmed version of the play. The sets, costumes (or lack thereof), and casting all work to create an accurate depiction of "nasty, brutal, and short" 11th century life.
