The documentary the art world doesn't want you to see... A gutsy film from Kerry Negara who bravely ventures into the hallowed halls of the Australian arts elite to reveal disturbing attitudes. The sexual liaisons of Australian artist Donald Friend in Bali in the 1960s, contriving to shame his friends and the artistic establishment for "double standards" in approving of him despite his supposedly being a "self-confessed pederast". Dolog, the youngest lover mentioned by Friend himself, is invited to join the attack, but says only that he minds his sex with Friend being exposed to the world's knowledge.
