Film screening: Exile & the Kingdom.

Friday, March 2, 2012 - 21:00

A multi-award winning documentary made with the Yindjibarndi, Ngarluma, Banyjima and Gurrama people of Roebourne, Western Australia. A comprehensive account of the experiences of a community of Aboriginal people from pre-colonial times to the 1900s. This film makes the connection between Aboriginals in chains in the 19th century and Aboriginal people in prisons today, so providing a deeper understanding of how the violence and denials of the past inform the present. A beautifully logical and persuasive argument for land rights.
