New play reimagines Australian history from Aboriginal viewpoint

A groundbreaking Australian play has come to New York for a few weeks. It's called The Visitors and it tells an important piece of Australian history from an Aboriginal perspective. A council of tribal leaders is called in when a fleet of ships appears in what is now Sydney Harbor in 1788. "The Visitors" is written by an Aboriginal playwright, and the cast and crew are also Aboriginal. Jeff Lunden reports from New York City.
