520    Utopia is an epic production by the Emmy and Bafta winning
       film-maker and journalist John Pilger.  Utopia is a vast 
       region in northern Australia and home to the oldest human 
       presence on earth. 'This film is a journey into that 
       secret country,' says John Pilger in Utopia. 'It will 
       describe not only the uniqueness of the first Australians,
       but their trail of tears and betrayal and resistance - 
       from one utopia to another'.  Pilger begins his journey in
       Sydney, where he grew up, and in Canberra, the nation's 
       capital, where the national parliament rises in an 
       affluent suburb called Barton, recently awarded the title 
       of Australia's most advantaged community. Barton is named 
       after Edmund Barton, the first prime minister of Australia,
       who in 1901 introduced the White Australia Policy. 'The 
       doctrine of the equality of man,' said Barton, 'was never 
       intended to apply to those who weren't British and white-
       skinned.' He made no mention of the original inhabitants 
       who were deemed barely human, unworthy of recognition in 
       the first suburban utopia.  A global campaign illuminated 
       apartheid in South Africa. No such opprobrium has been 
       directed at Australia, where black Australians are 
       imprisoned at up to eight times the rate of blacks in 
       apartheid South Africa. Instead, Australia's post card 
       image is that of the 'lucky country'; and indeed few 
       societies are as wealthy, if you leave out the original 
       inhabitants is that of a third world country. In the town 
       of Wilcannia, New South Wales, the average life expectancy
       of men is 37. This is the secret of apartheid Australia.  
       Utopia is both a personal journey and universal story of 
       power and resistance and how modern societies can be 
       divided between those who conform and a dystopian world of
       those who do not. Utopia draws on people and places Pilger
       filmed 28 years ago during his long association with the 
       indigenous people of his homeland. The evidence he 
       produces is often deeply moving and shocking.
