This film was extremely confronting for me. I had never watched anything which was so brutally honest but yet compassionate and tender at the same time. There are many stereotypes in society about the issue of substance abuse in Indigenous communities however this movie showed a side which I had not considered before. The lack of dialogue in the film was also powerful as it then relied on the perfomance of the actors to convey all the things not being said. Samson and Delilah is an amazing film which I feel all Australians should be proud of. I'm glad I spent the time to track it down and watch it because I feel like I have a new understanding and respect for young people living among these communities.
