One of the most extraordinary films about Australia, Utopia is an epic production by the Emmy and BAFTA winning film-maker and journalist John Pilger (1939 – 2023).
Utopia is a vast region in northern Australia and home to the oldest human presence on earth.
‘This film is a journey into that secret country,’ says John Pilger in Utopia. ‘It will describe not only the uniqueness of the first Australians, but their trail of tears and betrayal and resistance – from one utopia to another’.
It is both a personal journey and universal story of power and resistance and how modern societies can be divided between those who conform and a dystopian world of those who do not.
"I cried like I had lost a family member watching this film... a must-see for all Australians" said Adam Goodes, Aboriginal football star and 2014 Australian of the Year.
