“The time for pacifism is gone.”
Ningla-a-na is the only film shot from inside the heart of Australia’s landmark 1972 Aboriginal Tent Embassy protest. Now, digitally restored and remastered for the film’s 50th anniversary, “Australia’s greatest ever protest movie” (The Guardian), spurs a conversation about what has changed in the last half century.
Sparked by a government speech dismissing hopes for Aboriginal land rights, the Aboriginal Tent Embassy was a crucible for all First Nations civil rights issues, boiling over into mass protests nationally, and recognised as the single most important political action towards Indigenous land rights in Australia.
Key protest leaders included young Gumbaynggirr activists, Uncle Gary Foley and Uncle Gary Williams.
Panel discussion with special guests to follow the film.
