Truckfighters (2011)

documentary film

The documentary generally portrays the band by uncommon insight into their double-tracked lifestyle in an ironical and satirical way, not to discredit them but to reveal the common issues of a rock band and the often-stereotyped musical genre they are attributed to (stoner rock). Some scenes are visibly based on the artwork of the Truckfighters Mania record, which was also designed by the filmmakers Joerg Steineck and Christian Macijewski. The film has a total runtime of 83 minutes and is subdivided into 9 chapters: Common How To Get Things Done Road Home Issues The Body Burden Family Fights Big The Drummer Dilemma

The Secret Country: The First Australians Fight Back (1985)

documentary film

A summary by the National Library of Australia describes the documentary as: [Revealing] the often hidden history of Aboriginal Australians from white settlement to the present. The central issue throughout the film is differing perspectives of the land and its uses, providing historical background to the present land rights movement and other areas of Aboriginal activism. Pilger concludes the documentary by stating that: “It seems to me that, until a committed policy of reconciliation, of real nationhood, is offered to the First Australians, those who came recently can never claim their own.”
