Theatrical Documentary: Beautiful One Day
"Beautiful One Day is a theatrical documentary
about the irrepressible life and times of Palm
Island. Three theatre companies (Belvoir,
Ilbijerri, and version 1.0) came together in 2011
over a shared sense of outrage at the injustices
surrounding a death in custody in 2004. But,
prompted by the Palm Island community,
Beautiful One Day looks for a way to turn outrage
into real understanding and new possibilities.
At its heart is a determined struggle to understand
the persistent heavy-handedness of white Australia."

Sail for a Whale on Boxing Day
"Every year, thousands of Sydneysiders watch
the famous Sydney-to-Hobart yacht race.
This year, we're inviting you to jump ship
and 'Sail for a Whale' instead!
Our inaugural Boxing Day sailing event is
being held in solidarity with the people of
Broome campaigning against the construction
of a gaint gas hub on their doorstep."
