Firestarter (out Feb 18) is a documentary that goes behind the scenes of the Bangarra, an acclaimed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander performing arts company. The politics won't be new to Australian audiences (the film feels pitched at international crowds) but the backstories to these dancers are interesting and moving. Grade: B+.
