History Bites Back

About This Movie

So, there's this film, History Bites Back, that takes an interesting approach to some heavy topics. Trisha Morton-Thomas, Elaine Crombie, and Steven Oliver use humor to tackle the complexities of Indigenous Australian history. It’s an odd mix of comedy and documentary, where they basically respond to nasty social media comments with real stories. The tone is both playful and poignant, managing to keep the pacing lively even when discussing serious issues like social security and citizenship. Those performances are quite engaging, giving a nice blend of personal storytelling and historical critique. It stands out in the way it blends humor with hard truths, making you think while also chuckling a bit along the way. Definitely a unique watch in the genre.
