Raki (which means rope) is set in Australia and Bosnia and deals with issues of black and white relations, ethnic conflict and multi-culturalism. Gara is an Aboriginal youth who is adopted by a Yugoslav family and taken bak to Bosnia. Caught up in the conflict there, he returns to Australia, only to end up in jail, where he hangs himself.
