The Department of Rural Health in partnership with the Shepparton Region Reconciliation Group invite you to a special film showing to be held at the lecture theatre at The Department of Rural Health in Shepparton for our annual Reconciliation Week event.
This year, we are excited to host a special screening of ‘Ablaze,’ featuring an online guest appearance by the film’s co-director, Tiriki Onus. Doors open at 5:30pm for a 6:00pm start, with finger food available on arrival. Bookings are essential.
Ablaze tells of Bill Onus, a Yorta Yorta and Wiradjuri man from Victoria, a truly heroic cultural and political figure who revived his peoples 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.
