Fight For Country (2006) Dir. Pip Starr
In 1998, over 5,000 people traveled to Kakadu, in the Northern Territory, to stand alongside the traditional owners of the land, the Mirrar people, and lend their support to the Jabiluka Campaign. The fight to prevent the development of the Jabiluka uranium mine was one of the biggest protest movements in Australia’s history and over 600 people were arrested in the process. It took film-maker Pip Starr four years to make this film, including one year spent documenting these historic events.
Funds raised will be primarily directed towards travel costs for elders, speakers and frontline voices in the struggle against nuclear and militarist expansion.
CANAM (Conference against Nuclear and Militarism) will be held at Schoolhouse Studios on Wurundjeri Country. CANAM will bring together people who have led anti nuclear and anti militarist movements to share knowledge, build strategy and strengthen collective organising. By learning from one another, CANAM’s aim is to cross pollinate ideas and insights across movements, drawing on the successes of different approaches to strenghten both struggles.
Tickets available from Humanitix. Free tickets for mob.
We acknowledge that this event takes place on the unceded Sovereign lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation. Sovereignty was never ceded, always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
