A young Aboriginal boxer is taken up by University students and finds it hard to adjust entering their bourgeois white world. This short is ragged and rough around the edges but it offers a rivetting glimpse into black and white relations in the early seventies, as well as some wonderful realistic sequences set in inner-city boxing gyms.
