Dr. H. E. Sawyer, Jr. perhaps you can actually spell, maybe you are an actual doctor. But you certainly don’t have an understanding of rural culture or lifestyle. So before you go insulting my intelligence because of somewhat poor grammar, maybe you should take a trip to a rural area and experience what it’s like to not have access to good education. Furthermore, if you would like to pay for my tuition, I would be absolutely ecstatic to attend. However, it is an unlikely outcome, I’m sure you would agree.
Also you save the orange peel for fragrance oil or grate it for flavouring your food. Maybe keep the ants and bugs away. Maybe they didn't think of it lol.
I live in Zimbabwe and it is one of the most educated countries in Africa. People are so educated in Zimbabwe that a university education is almost useless now because so many people have degrees and PhDs but the jobs just aren't enough for everyone. So now there is a lot of corruption, people get jobs through connections and relatives and if you don't have any connections, you might just as well eat and drink your PhD because the chances of you getting a job are next to nill. That is why so many Zimbabweans leave the country. I do not know any country that doesn't have Zimbabweans working there or any family here back home that doesn't have someone working in the Diaspora. I myself am a University student, doing a very complicated degree program but I know my future is uncertain and if I really want to provide for my family i will have to leave the country too like my father did almost 10 years ago. Which is why i found this so touching because I feel like this represents the struggles every Zimbabwean who leaves their family and friend and goes to unknown territories in search of a job and a better life for him and his family. Thank you Omeleto. Keep doing the good work
There are a lot of weird comments on this one. Basically I would not leave my child with some strange guy I did not know. I don't care if he locked the door. It is nice they helped him in the end though, but there are men who are not good, so one should be careful, yeh?
Him leaving actually fits with his abusive, neglectful treatment of his daughter. It's a weird disparity abusers can have and I've seen it happen in real life under various circumstances, some even more baffling than the situation from the film.
He tried to bring her, and she refused. So he locked the RV because he had no choice but to go out and hunt. But yeah, he probably should have grabbed her by the hair and forced her to come :)
Wow, I wouldn't leave my daughter alone with a stranger.. she was so innocent. Luckily he was a good guy, but if he had a car the whole time he could have taken them both into town a while ago.
Gas costs money. He wanted to take the man when he already had a reason to be going to town anyway. He didn't see helping the man as a good enough reason until his daughter helped him on her own.
@@NicheAtNight Yeah it was very suspect and quick how he suddenly needed to get out and away when her dad left...A bit silly part of this story and he is not african he is maori
Fantastic Film. Realistic, candid, honest display of outback life, paying attention to the simple things. Love the CB/ VHF radio comms being practically used to practice oral reading at school ( most likely?) The stress on dad's face to provide. The smart conservation of fuel using the motorcycle. Open land... if only it was planted with fruit trees. So many subtle moments. Touching. I also gather that the foreigner understood the complex math. The biggest hero in film is the huge, old but working KingsWood van still working after about 50 years!! Tough Austrailia, we love you. You too Zimbabwe.
What a location! Beautiful. Story makes me ponder the community of humankind. Fear, distrust, greed: these separate us. I'm glad the dad helped. I guess we need each other. Great film. Cheers!
Where is this filmed? I could tell at the beginning it was Australia from the old Holden, but where in Australia? I presume somewhere in Victoria because it is made by students at the University of Melbourne. It is such a perfectly desolate location for such a desolate story. The script is fascinating because there are suggestions of a broken down society, but there is also the possibility of the delusions of a sovereign citizen type of retreat from reality. The school of the air is a real thing for those in remote locations and there are hints that they are trying to entice the girl out of her father’s cocoon. There are hints of disease, and the traveller from Zimbabwe has more questions about him than answers. It is tempting to zero in on racism, abuse, and xenophobia, but there seem to be hidden layers that suggest it is more than just that. Wonderfully written and edited.
I feel bad for the girl who seems to want more in life but the father is holding her back and she lets him because she loves him and knows he's grieving 😥
Omg that was so fantastic.. Everything from the stark, brutal dead emptiness of the opening scene to the entire feeling this movie gave me, to the beautiful kindness in the ending. , What I want to know is why this channel doesn't have millions of subscribers? They showcase everything. Even have channels for each genre. I cried during this.. I thought it was touchingly delicate and beautiful.❤💧
I wonder if, in the context of an unusual, rugged but ultimately heartwarming family drama, this film speaks to the history of slavery in Australia. Chenzira means "born while traveling" or "born on a journey."
The tension of a father protecting his daughter is real. No matter what the ethnicity, he has to be extremely careful. At the same time, institutionalized racism makes victims out of human beings more often than not. The Zimbabwean is fortunate that they helped him, and he is fortunate nothing worse took place. Great film.
I understand all of the NEGATIVE comments about the Girl with a Stranger. I SAY AGAIN, IT IS ALL A MOVIE AND NOT REAL. THE ENTIRE POINT IS, THE FATHER LEFT HIS DAUGHTER WITH A STRANGER AND THEN FLIPPED OUT READY TO KILL HIM. ALL WAS IN THE SCRIPT AND ALL WERE "ACTORS".
@@LostinMIA A "Walk About" is Australian term. It is a time when you pack a backpack and travel - normally between high school and beginning college. Pick a country, pack a backpack and see the world (if you can't put it into a backpack then you don't need it). You can do a Walk About at any time in your life. It is a reset on life to remind yourself there is more to your life than the four walls of your life. It is imersing yourself in a different country, meet new people, customs. You decide when to move to a new place, if you want to.
didn't trust him, maybe thought the man was going to take him out in the wasteland and shoot him; wanted to just walk to the road and catch a ride by himself.
I live in isolation in middle of woods always noisy at night quite peaceful but I brang the modern luxuries out here even have a pool and satellite internet I couldn't imagine doing it with a couple of run down trailers but I spent my childhood in a big city I hate talking to people and if that was my only choice I would rather do that then have to deal with people not all of us are social creatures some of us long to me alone
What is happening here? Why are they in exile? Why was the Zimbabwean man thrown into exile as well? The father refers to the stranger as "half-caste" and asks if there's been any trouble at the "camp"? What type of trouble is he in? What's going on? This story is interesting but poses many questions.
One minor thing I found odd in the story is that when the girl and the stranger are first seen going down the road the stranger has a walking stick. After the encounter with the father he dropped the walking stick and started to move away. Neither the girl or the stranger ever bothered to retrieve the walking stick after the encounter with the father..
Self-exile, as defined by google, is a state of exile imposed by oneself. a person who lives voluntarily as an exile. For those who cannot believe they'd exile their own selves.
When the daughter asks what is wrong with him, the father says "probably drunk." When she says, "out here?" the father says 'walkabout" (as if it were a possibility). Later when talking on the radio, he says that he found a "half-caste" the evening before. These three things do not seem to fit together very well. I was not aware that what he terms as a half-caste went on a walkabout, or that an adult would. Typically that is something an Aboriginal boy does around 10-16 years of age, and it lasts for several months living off the land. The purpose being to prove he can survive, thus becoming a man. Certainly, alcohol would not be a part of that experience. So, I do not understand why an adult man accustomed to living off the land himself would refer to another adult as possibly being on a walkabout (he has to know a little about the culture if he lives there). Also, as a side note, there was no indication that the man had actually consumed alcohol. Instead, we learn he was beaten up and placed there, probably left to die. The answers could all be, "because this is a movie, and very often have these types of factual errors." I would settle for that, unless there is someone that is more familiar with Outback culture from that era (which, based on the vehicles, could be 70s to maybe early 90s). Anyone knowledgeable give more insight? Thanks.
The term 'walkabout' is quite possibly derived from some aboriginal tradition, but in modern usage it generally refers to an indigenous person who needs a break from his job or family or whatever and simply wanders off for a time, which is quite common. Alcohol is sometimes involved, but certainly no always.
He was trying to deter his daughter from having any contact with the outside world. That's why he didn't let her go on the school trip & why he said what he did.
Very good film. When he looked at his daughter to see if there was anything wrong and saw there wasn't, he put his faith in her and left to get the car and help the man was beautiful. The connection between him and his daughter was strong enough he could tell nothing bad had happened. Unfortunately, all too often the connection between us and our children are not that good. Well done on this film.
Humanity is ultimate ❤️🤝👍. You share love. Love spreads. You share care. Care spreads. You share kindness. Kindness spreads. 💗😊. Love everyone. Respect everyone.
Its suggested that the guys wife died to aboriginals, and is afraid of them or hates them. His daughter finds a what seems to be a half-caste aboriginal washed up on the shore. Basically in the early 1900's the white Australians tried breeding out aboriginals with white people, messing up genes and creating half white half aboriginal off-spring. Jack, the white man, says hes probably drunk and sleeping it off, as thats stereotypical for aboriginals over here. The daughter begs to differ, and says he needs help. Jack continues to rag on the new black man, saying hes probably diseased, while Jess, the daughter, continues to try to help the man, knowing his secret that he doesn't want to tell Jack due to him being scared of him. Finally, when he confronts them walking on the road on a motorcycle, Jack asks where his mob is (tribe of aboriginals), and the man says he came from Zimbabwe, Africa to Australia for a new beginning, but was thrown in a half-caste camp with no shoes and limited nutrients. Jack was in disbelief and decided to help them in the end.
Hi, I'm the Writer/Director. The racial politics are complicated here so I can understand the confusion...just like in real life. We wanted the story to be a little open to interpretation, that the African refugee's past was not completely clear to the audience. We decided that he had been granted residency in Australia as his parents were involved in a political coup back in Africa. Some rivals of his family found out where he was now living and sent people to find him. They put him in the boot of a car and drove him out into the middle of the desert and dumped him, leaving him to die so it wouldn't look like murder. He'd been walking on foot for many days before collapsing near Jack and Jess's camp. Jack represents the most simplistic side of racism in Australia, only seeing things as black or white. We worked with the idea of what we call 'Isolation based ignorance' which is an idea that when people cut themselves off from the world their idea of the world is becomes quite restricted. I hope this helps a little. I'm getting the subtitles added now.
People are all upset by the way she eats an Orange 🍊. Who cares... 4:35 Wanna get picky shes not even keyed up the mic when talking. Does it matter again, no. It's just a short movie but maybe be thankful someone took the time to let you watch it for free. ✌️
No one living that close to the edge of existence, peels a potatoe that poorly.
He wouldn't even peel, just cook and eat it all
@@JOBRAIL1 That is how I would do it.
At that stage you don’t even peel them, I agree completely
@@JOBRAIL1 exactly
Who peels the only nutritional part?
He's loosing so much potato off of that potato
People living like that rarely even peel their potatoes 😂 why waste the nutrients?
Yeah I was gonna kinda say the same thing. Why peel a potato anyway?
Lol, old lady tale
Perhaps you can actually cook. But. You cannot spell. I recommend a Jr. College remedial plan.
Dr. H. E. Sawyer, Jr. perhaps you can actually spell, maybe you are an actual doctor. But you certainly don’t have an understanding of rural culture or lifestyle.

the way she ate that orange is down right un-godly

For real. He had a car. Either take the daughter with him to town or the guy. The film lost credibility when he left the two together.
I take it you didn't watch Q&A on the ABC last week? Google it if you can find it since the ABC took it off their platform's?
I was nervous about that, too.
Him leaving actually fits with his abusive, neglectful treatment of his daughter. It's a weird disparity abusers can have and I've seen it happen in real life under various circumstances, some even more baffling than the situation from the film.
It's a MOVIE and NOT REAL LIFE
Ok, Captain Obvious here. Why does the Dad leave his daughter with a man who is a stranger? Not safe.
It's one of the scary parts of abuse and neglect. Be glad you don't understand, but know that it does happen.
He tried to bring her, and she refused. So he locked the RV because he had no choice but to go out and hunt. But yeah, he probably should have grabbed her by the hair and forced her to come :)
Wow, I'm also from Zimbabwe. I feel his pain
It was fine when it was Rhodesia.

Well, there’s also a good dose of paranoia... probably accentuated by a very asocial personality and years of self-exile
The cinematography is strong with this one.
Very moving…. Well done!
Beautiful filmography in this short film:)

It was really good, you should do second part too.
are these videos really produced by this channel or was it from somewhere else because i feel like these videos are too good for youtube

Yes, thoroughly enjoyable. Never went overboard. Never too far from believable.
Wonderful Performers, Beautiful Landscapes

Beautiful movie! Are they speaking English all the time ? There are times i couldn't make at all what they were saying !
When he was giving him the lift at first place then why he didn't answer and said yes?
didn't trust him, maybe thought the man was going to take him out in the wasteland and shoot him; wanted to just walk to the road and catch a ride by himself.

A very good show. I subscribed.
One of the finest.
Who else thought they were in for a Alien vid ?
In the final scene as he drives up you can see structures in the background so their not that isolated.
I did not see any structures.
Only thing I could think about is were they live I
What is happening here? Why are they in exile? Why was the Zimbabwean man thrown into exile as well? The father refers to the stranger as "half-caste" and asks if there's been any trouble at the "camp"? What type of trouble is he in? What's going on? This story is interesting but poses many questions.
