Our Warrior’ screening + Q&A with Uncle Charles Pakana

“to accept one’s past — one’s history - is not the same thing as drowning in it.” - James Baldwin  

Join us during NAIDOC week for a screening of the documentary "Our Warrior, the story of Robbie Thrope".

Krautungalung Elder and political activist Robbie Thorpe stands as part of a long line of Indigenous resistance to invasion. This powerful documentary shows the making of this modern leader and tracks the resurgence of a powerful Indigenous, anti-colonial movement currently reshaping the country.

Robbie’s story is a story of resistance across generations, the power of family and the unrelenting struggle for justice in a country that remains in denial.  

Robbie draws the threads of two centuries of oppression together by relentlessly focusing our attention on the core injustices. His messages are critical to modern Australia. 

Q&A with director Anthony Kelly and editor and journalist Uncle Charles Pakana after the screening.
