This documentary explores the life and customs of the people of the Torres Strait as well as their sacred traditions with their land.

The film highlights the efforts of Mr Eddie Mabo who advocated for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People to have land rights. His campaigning led to the High Court of Australia recognising the existence of Native Title in Australia in June 1992.

Refreshments will be provided.
