The Coolbaroo Club Synopsis
Documentary about "The Coolbaroo Club", which was the only Aboriginal-run dance club in a city which practiced unofficial apartheid. During its lifetime, the Club attracted Black musicians and celebrities from all over Australia and occasionally from overseas. Although best-remembered for the hugely popular Coolbaroo dances attended by hundreds of Aborigines and their white supporters, the "Coolbaroo League", founded by Club members, ran a newspaper and became an effective political organization, speaking out on issues of the day affecting Aboriginal people.
The Coolbaroo Club (1996) is a documentary film directed by Roger Scholes, released on March 1, 1996 with a runtime of 53m. It stars Christopher Robin Bodney, Eileen Clarke, Frank Bropho and Gladys Bropho.
