ONEFOUR: Le groupe australien qui dérange

Totally agree with the movie. Being a Samoan myself, I had my fair share of dealings with the police. 25 years ago, Ipswich in the western suburbs of Brisbane, is a different place compared to it now. Lots of racism from Police to teachers at both primary and high school. We were labelled "gangs" and were only 13 years old lol I really hope one four overcome their adversary.

So many white Australians who have done far worst, including terrorism to drug trafficking, are aloud to write a book about what they did and make money out of it. Yet, one four are banned to perform which allows them to bring income for them and their families. Talk about basic human rights violation. Mind you, Australia violates basic human rights laws everyday. But, everyday Australians do not know that their Australian Gov do it.

So their goal is to fizzle one four out to get them back into the trouble that they're trying to get out of....? Yet, NSW gov does not invest in those disadvantage communities to make it better, but make the communities turn on each other?

This movie really show how and who Australians really are. I experience it myself. I hear horror stories from tourists who visit australia.

Brilliant, well-structured documentary about racism, retaliation and redemption through music. It should be mandatory viewing for all. It's multi-layered: cultural, social, legal, political, and has generated a lot of discussion with friends. Was a real eye-opener about the boys, the music and the challenges they face. Everyone deserves another chance, to flourish and to make an honest living from doing what they love. So much respect for the resilience the boys have demonstrated. Never give up.

Police money would be better spent building bridges between the youth and police - set up music studios in PCYCs, etc - do something positive and constructive for better outcomes all round.

Score 11/10.

I really enjoyed watching this documentary. Great storytelling. I hadn't really heard of Onefour prior to watching this (they are drill rappers from the outer suburbs of Sydney). This documentary touches on interesting insights into the music scene in Australia, police abuse of power and life in Western Sydney. It has interviews with a wide range of voices, including members of Onefour and their families, NSW Police and people in the music industry. Also fun to see some well known people like the Kid Laroi speak about the group and their journey. This film is definitely a must watch for anyone interested in Australian hip hop.

An enlightening and engaging documentary exploring the experiences of a young rap group who have brushed with the law.

As an Australian citizen, watching these young people try to escape a life of crime through the arts and being oppressed using archaic anti organised crime laws brings a real fire to my mind. I recommend a watch whether you're a fan of the music or not. Watching as the police repeatedly overreach as a method of crushing freedom of speech shows how backwardly conservative Australia really is leaves this viewer with a stony heart.

At the end of the first viewing my mind recalls growing up in western Sydney, how the common criminal elements were restricted to drug use and domestic violence, as well as concerning rhetoric around sexual consent. This film acts as an astounding criticism and in many ways is a stark display of Sydney's complete and utter sledgehammer approach to policing and leaves the viewer wondering, why do the police never speak of tangible plans to engage with their communities.

A must watch.

This documentary is amazing. Personally, I'd seen them live at a festival 2 years ago and didn't know a lot. This was an insight and made me think twice. The message was clear and I think they should be nothing but proud of this. I hope it reaches people and questions their thinking - must watch for sure.

You can see the clear divide between people who have remained on the picket fence side of life and the everyday people just trying to make it. Sometimes people forget empathy and the biggest takeaway is that the NSW police are out of touch with reality and need a scapegoat. They should probably start looking towards real issues because one four isn't what they make it out to be.
