Babakiueria

 

A group of Aboriginal Australians in military uniforms come ashore in a land they have not previously been to. They discover a number of European Australians engaged in stereotypical European Australian activities.

The Aboriginal Australian explorers approach the group and the expedition's leader asks them, "What do you call this place?" One of the Europeans replies, "Er... Barbecue Area."

Babakiueria is a 1986 Australian satirical film on relations between Aboriginal Australians and Australians of European descent. Babakiueria revolves around a role-reversal, whereby it is Aboriginal Australians who have invaded and colonised the fictitious country of Babakiueria, a land that has long been inhabited by white natives, the Babakiuerians.

A very clever mockumentary which approaches some very serious themes with a light touch which was required viewing in some schools.
