  • ""Black and white is a compelling story based on a 1959 landmark trial that irrevocably changed police procedure and judicial authority in South Australia. It is Christmas 1958 in conservative Adelaide, a city that prides itself on its peaceful, well-bred qualities. An excitable young lawyer, David O'sullivan, is given the news that he has drawn a 'bad lottery prize', a legal aid case. He must defend a young Aboriginal man Max stuart who has been arrested for the rape and nurder of a nine year old girl in the far west desert town of Ceduna. O'Sullivan soon concludes that the aborigine has been framed by the local police and decides he must take a stand."--container cover."

  • ""In 1959 Max Stuart, a young Aboriginal man, is accused of a horrific crime - the rape and murder of a 9-year-old girl. It rapidly becomes a case that enthrals and divides the country; was he framed or did the police really get their man? The trial that followed irrevocably changed Australia's legal landscape and policing procedures, and still remains a landmark in the judicial area. In this award-winning feature film, we see the case brought to life again with a stunning international cast and a gripping script"--Container."
