Ten Canoes

While a jealous Aborigine (Jamie Dayindi Gulpilil Dalaithngu) living in northeastern Australia covets one of his brother's three wives (Frances Djulibing, Sonia Djarrabalminym, and Cassandra Malangarri Baker) and the tribe builds canoes and hunts for geese eggs in the Arafure Swamp in this entertaining, humorous, 90-minute, 2006 film filled with exquisite cinematography, an Aboriginal storyteller (David Gulpilil Ridjimiraril Dalaithngu) tells a 1,000-year-old tale about another likeminded warrior (Crusoe Kurddal) who wanted another man's wife, which eventually lead to a violent and deadly retribution.
