The first color feature from Australia, "Jedda" (1955) was the tragic tale of an Aboriginal girl adopted and raised by a white family but kept from learning of her cultural heritage. Written and directed by the Queensland husband and wife team of Charles and Elsa Chauvel; the former's "In The Wake Of The Bounty" (1933) had helped make a star of Errol Flynn. Both films are available on DVD.
