10:05 Warwick Thornton - Aboriginal film-maker

Warwick wrote his film Samson and Delilah from his own knowledge of Aboriginal communities and what he calls 'not the Stolen Generation but the Lost Generation' and made it real by including his own brother, a trained actor but a lifetime alcoholic playing the unforgettable role of a homeless man (but only after he'd gone to rehab before getting the job). The film won the Camera D'Or at Cannes Film Festival (that's the award for best first feature). It screened at the NZFF and is due for general release here in early October.
