Synopsis
Paddy, an Aboriginal man, has been in jail going on 20 years. It is the day of his release. Paddy knows of the two laws - a white one and a black one. The 20 years he has spent doing time for the white man’s law have been in preparation for this one day - his payback. Part of the AFC’s ’From Sand to Celluloid’ collection.
