MABO

Succesful activist for land rights for his people, the late Mr Eddie Mabo won a long and bitter legal battle against the government, colonisers, who incredibly annexed his land on the premise of 'Terra Nullius' ... that it was an empty land, void of people.

Following is a short film that I wrote and directed concerning the neglect of consecutive Australian governments in their dealings with Indigenous Australians.

Violent electrical storms across Australia mystically connect hundreds of Indigenous youths who set off on a graffiti awareness campaign. They write one word beautifully … Mabo. The Police step in and arrest one young man, but he stands defient.
