  • "In 1979 Alwyn Peter was charged with the manslaughter of his girlfriend Deidre Gilbert at Weipa Aboriginal Station. This film recounts the events leading up to the tragedy and continues with the life of Alwyn Peter and his family after his release from prison ... their forced move from Mapoon Aboriginal Station to Weipa Aboriginal Station, and shows how their broken culture and the destruction of traditions has left the Aboriginal people lost and powerless."

  • "Alwyn Peters, a 22 year old Aborigine living on the reservation, stabbed his girlfriend to death in a drunken rage. In the past such incidents were dismissed as "just another Black death", but this murder, by some historical quirk, raised national consciousness. It was seen as the symbol of a people annihilating itself out of despair."@en
