Funilly enough I don't think I've ever seen a torrent for the film.

A few years back someone uploaded the film to the sammyboy message forum, but the links are dead now. :sad:

Did find a couple of clips here though:

It is not easy to find. Luckily, the university where I teach has it, and I checked it out and copied it...for teaching purposes. Seriously!

O'Rourke has given lectures to film students where he tries to lay some sort of philosophical mumbo-jumbo over the whole episode, but it just seems sad to my way of thinking. Just let the doco do the 'talking'.

 

He followed it up with 'Cunnamulla', a really gritty look at an outback town in Queensland. Copped some flack for showing drunk white trash pursuing an underage Aboriginal girl outside a pub and a few other scenes that comfortable middle-class whites would have preferred not to see. Hasnt done a whole lot since though.
