I recently watched Australia, and was very supprised by the content of the movie.  The trailer that I just linked makes it look like a love story that happens to take place in Australia, but that is really a second story line. Without giving away to much, the film is told from the perspective of a mixed race child, and the main story line is about race relations in Australia before and during WWII.  It is very simmilar to the way we treated Native Americans here.  The film is very long, but it provides a great social commentary on how the aboriginal people of Australia were treated.
