His epic Cambodia Year Zero is ranked by the BFI as one of the ten most important documentaries of the 20th century.

True allies don't claim Aboriginal land

Many allies of the struggle for Aboriginal sovereignty still proudly identify as being Australian. While many understand some of the history of genocide and theft on this continent they fail to understand how their Australian identity perpetuates that genocide and theft. We also need to learn and understand that the notion of being Australian and the country of Australia was not founded on feelings of independence but founded on ideas of white supremacy.
