Movies and TvShows featuring "terra-nullius" theme.

Terror Nullius is a remix collage film that takes snippets of Australian film and television history to create a political and cultural critique. It explores themes of colonialism, politics, and nostalgia, while also incorporating elements of mythology and eco-horror.

Loosely based on the filmmaker's personal experience, "Terra Nullius" is an impressionistic account of an eight year old Koori girl, Alice, growing up in a white adoptive family which denies her Aboriginality. The film examines how unacknowledged shame and fear passes from one generation to the next, from one culture to another. The last scene depicts a silent meeting between the young Alice and the adult Alice. In order to reclaim her life, Alice decides she must confront the pain and confusion of her childhood.

This documentary explores the history of Australia's Indigenous Peoples, focusing on their fight for rights, their struggles against colonialism and discrimination, and the impact of these events on their lives.
