Abstract
Abstract
Brad McGann’s Possum has been described as a film about the primal relationship between individuals and their environment. This article draws upon Clark’s work on feral ecologies in the colonial peripheries to suggest that it can also be understood as a historically specific allegory about nineteenth-century imperialism and settlement in New Zealand.
