Quote:
"The Learning Path is not a documentary about victimisation or oppression but an account of survival and renewal. The film bears witness to injustice, but it does not present the women's pain for the viewer's voyeuristic gaze. Rather The Learning Path uses autobiographical accounts as a means of displacing the outsiders' perspectives so familiar to us from archival and documentary images of Aboriginal people."
