Imagine watching a film that has been produced from 20,000 photos and 140 hours of video to tell the story of the Donydji Community - one of our 1200 Indigenous Homelands in Australia. And from the comfort of your own lounge room!
In 1974, Dr Neville White, a biological anthropologist, spent part of each year on the Homeland, responding to the community's request to resist the threat of mining license claims. HOMELAND STORY is a moving portrait of a resilient and determined community facing the challenges of maintaining their Homeland and preserving their vibrant culture.
For a taste of this wonderful film, watch the trailer: vimeo.com/336773143
We have been showing this film via Zoom since May, raising funds for the Donydji Community, and eliminating trachoma - the leading cause of infectious blindness in the world - with Australia the only developed country that still has this disease.
Testimonies:
"Totally enjoyed and engrossed in the documentary movie. Need to spread the "message" so that we better understand the issues in the Aborigines community; what and how to relate to our fellow Aussies." Casey from Rotary Carlton
"Very enlightening film tonight. We have travelled around Oz. And listened to a few communities. About their cultures etc. but not like tonight. And yes there are those that live by their traditions and are downtrodden for it." Judith S.
I will be showing this film on Fridays: 24th & 31st July; 7th, 14th & 21st August. See the attached flyer.
For just $10, choose your night, and book at: https://www.trybooking.com/BJRSD. All the money is a donation to the Donydji Community and EndTrachoma by 2020.
I do hope you can join me on for one of the screenings in July and August. Thank you in anticipation of your support in promoting this film far and wide. 
Many thanks,
