No Way to Forget

Richard Frankland | Australia 1996 | 12 min

Shane Franzis, an Aboriginal man, is an investigator for the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody.

Driving on an isolated country at night, he is haunted by things he has learned. The film blends flashbacks and visions into his cruise.

It’s good to know a bit about the commission before watching this film.
