Black Magic (1988): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 1988, Black Magic is a dokumentarfilm film directed by Paul Roberts, running about 55 minutes.

What it’s about. Although about top Aboriginal sportsmen, BLACK MAGIC is more than a film about sport. It is an account of the creative use of sport made by the Noongar people of Western Australia's south-west to advance their people's standing. Denied access to other areas of social life like most Aboriginal communities at the time, the Noongars, from as early as 1920, channelled the natural talent of their young people into the arena of competitive sport, notably running, boxing and football. Competitive sport, as filmmaker Paul Roberts notes, is 'an open gate, a universal rite of passage, an opportunity to achieve recognition and acceptance.'

Who’s in it. Black Magic stars Merlene Mead as Presenter, Stephen Michael as Self, Charles Kickett as Self and Glen Colbung as Self, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 10.0/10, Black Magic sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
