The third and final film of the Art and Money season. Interest in Aboriginal art has sky-rocketed in recent years and it is now a multi-million-dollar global industry. Ekow Eshun, director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts, looks at the complex issues surrounding the acquisition of indigenous art. As he meets well-known Aboriginal artists and other art industry players, it becomes clear that while some communities have learned to take advantage of the interest in their art, others continue to be exploited, being paid just a few dollars for paintings that could eventually sell for thousands.
