A documentary about three Aboriginal women: Rosalie in her mid-fifties, grew up on a reserve in La Perouse and now works as an administrator for the performing arts at the Australian Council; Margaret in her mid-thirties, a tribal/urban woman from Northern Territory, is now a lecturer in Aboriginal Studies at the University of Technology; and 18-year-old Britta who was adopted at birth and raised in Denmark, and is now working as a radio journalist and community radio broadcaster. Each of the women reflects various perspectives of themselves as Aborigines and as women, according to their family backgrounds and political influences that surround other Aboriginal women in their peer group. Part of Blackout series.
An exploration of the concept of 'community' in the Walgett Shire of rural north-west NSW propels an intimate expedition through the townships of Walgett, Lightening Ridge and Sheepyard. The journey reveals that despite the cultural diversity and the imperfections of these challenging communities, resilience, pride and an empowering and inexorable spirit of belonging prevails. Along the way, misconceptions are clarified and benevolent bonds are celebrated.
An international co-production coordinated by the ABC. These programs look at the reaffirmation of native culture amongst Indigenous people, land rights issues, survival and regrowth of Indigenous culture, and overcoming the damage done to personal and group identity by colonisation.
A provocative analysis of Aboriginal engagement in white politics during the past 20 years. It all began in 1972 with the establishment of a number of tents on the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra. In effect, it was an Aboriginal Tent Embassy and so began the metaphor for this black-white political engagement. The program analyses the original political claims which sparked off the early determination to face the government head-on. It also considers the outcome of those claims. That, in turn, has affected contemporary Aboriginal politics which when compared with the early 1970s has taken on a far more passive and personal stance.
VOTE 'YES' FOR ABORIGINES recognises and celebrates the 40th anniversary of the 1967 Referendum, the political milestone that overturned Australian constitutional law to allow Aboriginal people to be counted as Australian citizens in their own country.
