BLACK FIRE
"First Nations people discuss their place in Australian society in this pioneering work of Aboriginal cinema."
Directed by Bruce McGuinness
Long thought to be the first film ever made by an Indigenous filmmaker, Black Fire examines the situation of First Nations people in the early 1970s through politically charged discussions, comical vox pops, and interviews with luminaries of the time such as Pastor Doug Nicholls and Aboriginal Tent Embassy co-founder Bertie Williams.
