People living in the Greensborough area who are interested in supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within the wider community may wish to get tickets to see a new film this May.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are part of the world’s oldest continuing culture and deserve to be heard and respected.
Reconciliation Banyule is a community organisation of like-minded people who meet monthly in order to discuss ways of helping to fight for the rights of indigenous people by improving awareness of issues and helping to promote reconciliation between Melbourne and Banyule.
Reconciliation is specifically concerned with race relations, equality and equity, unity, institutional integrity and historical acceptance.
The subject of the Ablaze film is Bill Onus, a Yorta Yorta and Wiradjuri man who lived in Victoria in the 1940s. He was a political figure and hero to many, reviving the culture and creating a civil rights movement. The film includes archive footage, animation and eye-witness accounts of how Onus and his followers campaigned for equality.
Banner printing is often the means by which local films are advertised within a community.
The Reconciliation Banyule screening of Ablaze will be taking place on Tuesday, 7 May, from 7pm until 9.15pm. The venue can be found at HOYTS Greensborough, 25 Main Street, and tickets cost from $5.
