when Vaughn confronts the farmer, it shows how the indigenous people feel like they still haven't received recognition as the first Australians.
The intended message of Beneath Clouds is to acknowledge the violent past of non-indigenous take over of indigenous land and is still evident in today's society.
Ivan Sen's intended effect on the audience is to shine a light on an issue that is constantly hidden away in darkness and brings them to reflect on the violent past of the country and to show that it wasnt a peaceful 'settlement' but a violent invasion.

It demonstrates that since those conflicting times, Australia hasn't been willing to understand  "the old ways". Due to the split of the indigenous Australians, they feel like "'We are as strangers here now, but the white tribe are the strangers. ". It is shocking and bitter to accept that kind of past in Australian history. But it is now time to create a new chapter in history which should be titled "We are coming back"]]> 2016-10-26 22:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/acheadle01/vhuhu213wbif/wish/133493744 Some motifs throughout the Don Dale Detention Centre are violence and mixed heritage. These are motifs of Indigeneity as they are reocurring happenings in relation to Indigenous lives.  https://padlet.com/acheadle01/vhuhu213wbif/wish/133493821
