Bush Mechanics

This most recent documentary production by the acclaimed director of Lumumba is not so much a critique as an indictment of capitalism and the market economy. With a philosophical approach, Peck examines the economic setup that fuels the seemingly boundless prosperity of the West; he looks behind the thin blanket of affluence to show the heartless indifference of a system that purports to foster freedom while it enslaves millions. "The film...was a revelation. It was that unique combination of an astonishing aesthetic sensibility with powerful, intelligent, and relevant content...combin(ing) evocative images, powerful narration, and minimal interviews with a strong personal perspective." (Luiz DeBaros, The South African Film Site)

Bush Mechanics (David Batty (Australia, 2001). The latest installment of this ever–popular Aboriginal–produced television series.
