STILL WE RISE
“As fierce and uncompromising as the powerful men adn women that inspired it”
Sydney Morning Herald
In 1972, the planting of a beach umbrella in the lawns opposite Parliament House united people across the nation in the fight for land rights.
This is a bold dive into a year of incendiary protest and revolutionary change for First Nations people. Celebrating the feisty Aboriginal activists whose resistance continues to inspire subsequent generations.
