Released in 1955, Jedda is the first film to star two Aboriginal actors in leading roles, as well as being the first Australian feature film to be shot in colour. However, the film is controversial for its portrayal of Indigenous Australians. Rosalie Kunoth-Monks, who played Jedda, stated that her memories of making the film are painful to her and was forced to change her name by the film's directors.
