I, the aboriginal.

Quasi-drama-documentary (documentary footage intercut with dramatic reconstructions of past events) about the life of Philip Roberts, a remarkably prosperous and contented middle-class aboriginal male who, after a chance meeting with a white Australian doctor, goes to Darwin to study medicine and exchanges his life as a stockman on a Northern Territory cattle station for that of a "medical assistant" bringing primary health care to isolated aboriginal families in the remote interior of Arnhem Land. Includes scenes of adolescent male initiation ceremonies, hunting, aboriginal music, etc, as well as of vaccination and primary health care in the bush. A fascinating, though often bland and superficial, study of a man who, in the course of his medical walkabout, routinely moves back and forth between technologies, societies and cultures usually seen as worlds apart.
