Subject: "Colonists for a Day"
Our Anthropology prof is looking for a very recent program called "Colonists
for a Day", shown at the Margaret Mead film festival. She feels it may be
distributed by Film Australia, and produced 1996?
I'm looking for a distributor, both purchase and rental.
Thanks in advance.
