‘Our Warrior’ NAIDOC screenings

Uncle Robbie Thorpe joined Krystal De Napoli on Indigenuity radio show on Triple R on Sunday 29 June ahead of a special NAIDOC screening of the documentary ‘Our Warrior: The Story of Robbie Thorpe’ at ACMI on Thursday 10 July.  The documentary follows Robbie’s journey of Indigenous resistance to invasion and examines his political impact as an activist throughout his life.

Listen back to their conversation.  “I do it for my ancestors who never stood a chance. I do it for the spirit of this land, and the sacredness of this land, and everything thats on it. And also for our children’s children’s children, thinking well ahead… what’s it going to be like for them?”

There are a number of screening during NAIDOC week and the details and ticket links can be found here.

You can learn more about the making of the documentary in this edition of Showreel on 3CR Community Radio when Annie McLoughlin interviewed documentary maker Anthony Kelly ahead of the release of the film on February 15.
