Join Director Anthony Kelly and journalist and editor Uncle Charles Pakana for a special NAIDOC film screening.
Aboriginal political activist Robbie Thorpe stands as part of a long line of Indigenous resistance to invasion and this powerful documentary shows the making of this modern leader and tracks the resurgence of a powerful Black, Indigenous, anti-colonial movement that is currently reshaping the country.
Robbie’s story is a story of resistance across generations, the power of family and the unrelenting struggle for justice in a country that remains in denial. Controversial and uncompromising, Australian Aboriginal political activist Robbie Thorpe stands as part of a long line of Indigenous resistance to invasion.
Robbie's message is critical to modern Australia. A Q&A with director Anthony Kelly and Uncle Charles Pakana will follow the screening (Film length 53 minutes).
