518    Originally produced by Ronin Films in 1978. 
520    The Tasmanians were a distinct people, isolated from 
       Australia and the rest of the world for 12,000 years. In 
       1803, British colonisation began and in 1876, Truganini 
       died. She was the last full-blood and tribal Tasmanian 
       Aboriginal. Within her one lifetime, a whole society and 
       culture were removed from the face of the earth. THE LAST 
       TASMANIAN had an extraordinary impact upon a very wide 
       public in the years following its cinema release in 1978. 
       It is a deeply moving and finely crafted work which has 
       been credited by historians for substantially altering 
       Australian perceptions of the colonial past. This 
       pioneering achievement in historical detective work opens 
       with the State funeral in 1976 for the remains of 
       Truganini who died 100 years before. She was the last full
       -blood Aborigine in Tasmania. The film follows the work of
       Dr Rhys Jones, archaeologist and anthropologist, in his 
       search to discover and comprehend the life and death of 
       the Tasmanian Aborigines. The film aroused considerable 
       controversy when it was released. Many Aboriginal people 
       from Tasmania who are descendants of the original 
       population objected to the film's implication that their 
       people had been wiped out. The controversy provoked much 
       debate, although no-one denied the enormity of the 
       colonialist's assault upon the Aboriginal population of 
       the island.  "The most ambitious and controversial 
       Australian documentary in the past decade." - Professor 
       Tom O'Regan.
