Reconciliation Banyule and Nillumbik screening of Ablaze
Event description
Reconciliation Banyule and Nillumbik groups in partnership with Monty First Nations Allies are excited to invite you to join us at our private screening of Ablaze.
Ablaze tells the story of Bill Onus, a Yorta Yorta and Wiradjuri man from Victoria, a truly heroic cultural and political figure who revived his people's culture in the 1940s and ignited a civil rights movement that would, against enormous odds, change the course of history. Through rare archival footage, state-of-the-art animation, vividly created digital motion graphics and eye-witness accounts, Ablaze is the compelling tale -- part detective story, part contemporary opera -- of how Bill and supporters brilliantly orchestrated their campaign for equality through performance, entertainment, film and sheer audacity outsmarted mighty forces seeking to destroy Indigenous cultures, languages, and communities.
