To celebrate NAIDOC Week, we are partnering with The Wollotuka Institute and Kiray Putjung Aboriginal Corporation to host a free community film screening of The Last Daughter documentary. The screening will include special guest, proud Wiradjuri woman Aunty Brenda, who features in the film, canapés and displays from local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community groups.
This year’s theme is Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud, which honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture – with fire a symbol of connection to Country, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Screening The Last Daughter, which provides a powerful lens into the lives of people from the stolen generation, aligns with this year’s theme as the film amplifies First Nations voices, celebrates Aboriginal resilience and highlights the strength of kinship.
