Be Tru 2 Uluru and Platform Arts present: Our Warrior: The story of Robbie Thorpe

To coincide with the Geelong stage of the Yoorrook Walk for Truth, Be Tru 2 Uluru and Platform Arts invite you to a special screening of Our Warrior: The story of Robbie Thorpe.

Robbie is a proud Gurnai/Gundditjmara man and Aboriginal political activist. Robbie has organised challenges to ongoing genocide, colonisation and assimilation for more than 40 years, always working toward Indigenous economic and political independence. This documentary is the first to give us a sense of who he is and the forces that shaped him.

Following the screening, there will be a Panel discussion with Robbie Thorpe and keynote speaker Travis Lovett, a proud Kerrupmara/Gunditjmara man and a Commissioner of the Yoorrook Justice Commission. Commissioner Lovett has extensive experience working to improve the rights and lives of Aboriginal people, including across several Victorian Government departments, in youth services, justice and the not-for-profit sector.

Following the event, there will be an informal yarning circle and light refreshments provided by WaiiBean Soul Food, owned and operated by proud Torres Strait Island woman, Julie Saylor.
