Including welcome to country by Nyoongar Elder Noel Nannup. Octagon Theatre, University of WA.
MORE INFO: Our Generation is a powerfully provocative film that clearly outlines the undeniably devastating effects of the NT intervention, as told by the Yolngu people in the remote far north east Arnhem Land, NT.
“The film has developed into a powerful journey into Australia’s indigenous relations, from colonisation until the present day. It looks at Australia’s ongoing policies of paternalism and assimilation, explains the real issues underlying Indigenous disadvantage in this “lucky” country, and upholds the right of First Australians to dignity, culture and empowerment in their own country.” http://www.ourgeneration.org.au/about-2/
Join us on Wednesday 10th of November at the Octagon Theatre, UWA. Doors open at 6.30pm with a Welcome to Country by Nyoongar Elder, Noel Nannup. All proceeds from the night will go towards Our Generation and the ongoing need to carry the film and its voices into mainstream Australia and beyond. Thank you.
