Night Cries: A Rural Tragedy

Night Cries: A Rural Tragedy
Released: 31 Dec 1990 Duration: 0h 19min Genre: Drama
A short film about the relationship between an Aboriginal daughter and her white mother. The daughter, now the sole carer of her dying mother, dreams of far away places, the haunted look in her eyes loaded with a sense of what could have been. Famous Aboriginal singer, Jimmy Little, sings 'Royal Telephone', evoking the presence of Christianity and its role in the assimilation of Aboriginal people. The final scene sees the daughter lying in a foetal position next to her mother, crying. Assimilation, then, can be understood as a pain experienced by both the Aboriginal daughter as well as the white mother.

Does Night Cries: A Rural Tragedy have at least one scene during or after the credits?
