Not what I expected
Rating: 2
I thought that this video would contain information about the actual town, the people who live there, the interests they have, the isolation they muct experience, what the town looked like. Instead it's focus was primarily on the Aboriginal people and the drought. While this was all important and basic to Alice Springs, I don't think that it should have encompased the entire video--there was nothing about the normal, average people living there, nothing about the town--no tourist stuff in other words. While not, perhaps, meant to be a tourist video, I do think that showing some highlights (surely there must be some) of this unique city might have been shown. I did not need to learn about the aboriginal drinking problems or quite so much about the one major station owner.
Why no DVD?
Rating: 5
This is a brilliant movie that deserves to be captured on DVD, but isn't (sigh). My VHS copy is nearly worn out...
a fan of the book
Rating: 5
Having read the book and seen the film this video was very meaningful. It gave me a good understanding of the difficulties that the settlers faced.
