"It's so degrading," says Noongar elder Noel Nannup in John Pilger's latest film about indigenous disadvantage in Australia.
The Aboriginal man is standing in a $240-a-night hotel room on Rottnest Island which used to be divided into three prison cells in which more than 50 indigenous people died.
"They don't have any idea what happened in here," Nannup tells Pilger of the hotel's paying guests.
"No one tells them. No one lets them know."
It's perhaps the most poignant moment in Utopia.
London-based Pilger returns to outback Australia for this documentary film to find little has changed since his 1985 work The Secret Country.
The Utopia of the title refers to the Northern Territory region north of Alice Springs.
There are the same shacks, the same lack of basic services and the same diseases.
"I was shocked all over again," Pilger tells AAP.
"It's not that I expected a great deal of change. But to fly from a rich metropolis like Sydney, in what is now one of the richest countries on the planet, and drive into impoverished communities deprived of the basic services that the majority of Australians take for granted, is shocking."
