Our friends at Courage to Care (B’nai B’rith) (https://couragetocare.com.au/) are hosting a screening of the important and powerful documentary After the Apology.

At Emanuel we are proud to fly the Aboriginal flag, acknowledge Aboriginal connection to the land and of course visit our friends at Jilkminggan School in the Northern Territory.

But we must also keep educating ourselves about the reality of life for Aboriginal people to gain a deeper perspective of Indigenous and Human Rights issues in this country.

This documentary will shock you but will also introduce you to amazing people fighting for social justice.

A preview of the movie is available (if you scroll down) at https://tickets.demand.film/event/4307 .

The screening will not go ahead unless 32 more tickets are sold in the next 11 days (It is a “Demand” film). It will be held on Sunday 3 June, Hoyts EQ at 6.30 pm.

The rate of indigenous child removal has increased at an exponential rate since PM Kevin Rudd delivered the apology to the ‘Stolen generations’ in 2008.

In this landmark documentary about child removal 4 grandmothers take on the federal Government to be reunited with their grandchildren and spark a national movement to reunite Aboriginal families.

It is directed by acclaimed academic Larissa Behrendt.

The film will be followed by a special Q&A with the film’s producer Michaela Perske and an indigenous mother whose children were removed.

The discussion will be moderated by well-known human rights lawyer (and ex-Emanuel parent) George Newhouse.

I hope you can make it. Please buy a ticket asap so the screening can go ahead.
