Amnesty International NSW Demand Dignity Action Group
Taking action for Economic, Social and Cultural Human Rights
Amnesty International NSW Demand Dignity Action Group welcomes all to a Free Screening of a groundbreaking documentary on Aboriginal rights in Australia that has sparked national and international attention ......
...'OUR GENERATION'
With guest speaker JEFF MCMULLEN - former ABC Foreign Correspondent
A rollercoaster journey into the heart of Australia’s Indigenous relations ... this is Aboriginal people making a call to the nation to take a fresh and unflinching look at unresolved issues.
Through the stories of the Yolngu of NE Arnhem Land, the film looks at ongoing policies of paternalism and assimilation, examines the real issues underlying Indigenous disadvantage, and opens dialogue on ways forward that respect Aboriginal culture and dignity.
“The truth in this film is like a red hot poker driven into the conscience of a nation… Are we listening? Will we act?” JEFF MCMULLEN
