520    Australians have an historic hatred of police and of 
       authority - but for black Australians it is a brutal 
       reality. Some Australians call it a secret war. Others see
       it as evidence of an on-going penal mentality. But despite
       the attempt at cultural genocide, Aboriginal juveniles 
       remain defiant and resilient, with a clever humour that 
       gets them into even more trouble with police. They have to
       contend with over-policing and police harassment, and a 
       criminal justice system which is more likely to sentence 
       them for petty crimes than their white counterparts.  The 
       documentary, made by a crew of Aboriginal and non-
       Aboriginal Australians, features prominent Aborigines such
       as Lyall Munro Jnr., Evelyn Crawford and Shane Phillips, 
       as well as criminologist Chris Cunneen, who tell of the 
       history of taking Aboriginal children away from their 
       families. The overwhelming fear of some Aborigines is that
       repeated incarceration can lead to institutionalisation, 
       deaths in custody, or a pattern of life which can 
       psychologically cripple them in adulthood.  The film 
       visits outback towns including Bourke, Brewarrina and 
       Walgett, as well as Moree and Sydney's Redfern, and goes 
       inside Reiby, Minda and Mt Penang juvenile detention 
       centres.  The teenagers make provocative viewing as 
       Special Treatment finds out what Aboriginal juveniles 
       think about how they are treated. It also attempts to 
       explore past, present and future solutions as Koori kids 
       tell their own stories and comment on the initiatives now 
       being taken.  The soundtrack features some of the exciting
       bands of contemporary Australian rock music such as Paul 
       Kelly, Archie Roach and Mixed Relations.  Special 
       Treatment received a special commendation from the Human 
       Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission. --Kanopy.
