"Our Generation" screening in Parramatta

Dear All,

please forward widely!

Reconciliation for Western Sydney would be happy to see you at a free Parramatta screening of 'Our Generation' with Jeff McMullen.

Introduction and Q&A by

Jeff McMullen AM

Former Foreign Correspondent

Jeff will be talking about the Stronger Futures legislation, its clash with our human rights obligations and the calls by NT Elders for opposition to the Government's approach.

The oldest culture on earth is fighting for survival. Our Generation explains the real issues underlying Aboriginal disadvantage in this "lucky" country, and the responses of Aboriginal people to the Northern Territory Intervention. Through the voices of youth, men, women and Elders from remote communities, the film opens the way for dialogue on how Australia can move forward with genuine respect and partnership with its First Peoples.
