While filming, cast and crew lived communally in a disused Aboriginal Hostel in Adelaide, South Australia.
The film was originally intended to be a very low-budget 40-50 minute short feature shot on 16mm.
This picture was one of fifty Australian films selected for preservation as part of the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia's Kodak / Atlab Cinema Collection Restoration Project.
The movie was "one of the first major feature films about urban Aboriginal culture" according to the DVD sleeve notes.
The band members of the two Australian Aboriginal rock bands featured in the film portrayed themselves.
