Why

The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s Alliance (NATSIWA) is bringing a powerful story of women and cultural survival to The Pivotonian Cinema in Geelong on Wednesday 29th July at 6:45pm.

In a remote Yolŋu island community, Elder Ḻäwurrpa Maypilama is on a mission to return birthing to Country through the djäkamirr research project. With the assistance of non-Indigenous midwife-researcher Sarah, and patient Belgium cameraman Pat as witness, she navigates ancestral laws, colonial resistance and legal contradiction. Her journey becomes a powerful act of sovereignty and renewal, where women’s power, cultural survival and the future itself is adrift in uncertain waters. A reminder that the future is born from the stories we choose to carry forward.

Limited tickets remain for this one off screening, tickets are $24 each plus a booking fee of $1.95 per ticket.
