Movie Night – Black and White (M)

Australia, 1958. When a nine-year-old white girl is found murdered, police are quick to arrest an illiterate indigenous man, Max Stuart. Under interrogation, Max admits to the killing and signs a statement that will send him to the gallows. With no Court of Appeal established in the country and a legal system compromised by intimidation tactics and the stain of institutional racism, the skills of his two gifted but naive defence lawyers are tested. Based on a true story.

NAIDOC – For Our Elders

Across every generation, our Elders have played, and continue to play, an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families.

We pay our respects to the Elders we’ve lost and to those who continue fighting for us across all our Nations and we pay homage to them.
