Apparently commissioned to promote First Australian talent, Dark Place is a ground-breaking anthology feature telling a quintet of indigenous tales, each around 15 minutes in length, and using largely indigenous casts. All of which approach post-colonial Aboriginal Australian history through the though-provoking lenses of historical parallels, horror, gore and fantasy.
Dark Place opens with the short Scout, a a strong opening that sets the tone for the rest of the film – dealing with a group of aboriginal women who’ve been kidnapped as part of a human trafficking ring, touching on the value of life, in particular the life of minorities and how under-valued they really are. It starts out on a downward note, really showing us the despair and danger these women are in, before taking a turn into revenge-film territory.

Spring is always the saddest time of year. With cancelation announcements, or final seasons ending, some of our favorite shows and characters leave the air, never to be seen again.
The one case that may surprise is Nashville was canceled on ABC on May 12, but it has been revived for Season 5 on Cmt.
Below are 13 of our favorite shows – both old and new series – that we are saddest to see the air. You shall be missed.
Be sure to drop your favorite canceled show in the comments, especially if left off of our list!
1. The Good Wife The Good Wife was once one of the best shows on television, with complex characters who challenged each other at every turn. That's the show I'm going to miss. The one that approached the law from unique angles and expected viewers to follow along as stories quickly progressed. Alicia, Diane, Cary, Will, the bones of the firms.
