Al 'The Bomb' Dawson is caught between his Aboriginal friends, fight promoters, and students campaigning for Aboriginal rights. Unable to resolve the conflicting forces around him, Al walks away from all of them, in the process losing the chance for a shot at the world welterweight title fight. One moment he's hitch-hiking with a mate, the next he's gone. Featuring some fine performances, the film's greatest asset is its unflinching and unsentimental gaze on the difficulties Aboriginal people must face in Australian society.
