Our Warrior : The story of Robbie Thorpe
Description
Be Tru Cry Justice Voices for Geelong and Platform Arts invite you to a special screening of Our Warrior: The story of Robbie Thorpe.
A story of resistance across generations, the power of family and the unrelenting struggle for justice in a country that remains in denial. Controversial and uncompromising, Australian Aboriginal political activist Robbie Thorpe stands as part of a long line of Indigenous resistance to invasion. Robbie draws the threads of two centuries of oppression together by relentlessly focussing our attention on the core injustices. His messages are critical to modern Australia.
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.
