A parable of forbidden love from Australia’s mythical past, with storytelling by Australian icon David Gulpilil (Crocodile Dundee and Rabbit-Proof Fence) and starring his son Jamie as the covetous youth Dayindi, Ten Canoes is a ground-breaking glimpse into aboriginal life centuries before European settlement.

The Ten Canoes DVD includes outstanding extras such as The Balanda and the Bark Canoes – The Making of Ten Canoes, a fascinating portrait of director Rolf de Heer's struggle to authentically capture the indigenous Ramingining's story -- and the people who desperately wish to preserve their culture on film.
